My Story…

This year, I’m honored to be running the Falmouth Road Race in support of Empower, an organization that provides connection, support, and healing for children grieving the loss of a parent.


I found Empower early last year and immediately knew I wanted to get involved. Since then, I’ve been matched with the most incredible mentee. Through this experience, I’ve found a community built on understanding, compassion, and shared experiences.


When I was 20 years old, I lost my dad to cancer. It has been incredibly impactful to connect with others who truly understand the lifelong impact of losing a parent. Empower creates a safe and supportive space for children and families navigating that loss, and I feel so grateful to be part of their mission while honoring my dad along the way.


If you are able, please consider donating in honor of my dad and to help Empower continue providing support and healing to grieving children and families.


Thank you so much for your support!

Description

Join me in supporting Empower by helping me raise money as I take on the 2026 Falmouth Road Race! 

Empower is a nonprofit with a very specific mission — to empower, support, and connect children and young adults (up through age 24) who have experienced the loss of a parent. Empower provides events that remind children they are not alone in their grief, and a unique one-on-one mentor program with positive role models from the community who help teach, “loss is survivable.” 

Cara was nine years old when her mother Kit died of breast cancer and formed Empower as a grassroots movement out of the gratitude she had for all the layers of support her family received growing up. Empower operates with a lean staff and thousands of volunteers from across the globe and all programs remain at no charge to the family.  For more information, or to become a Mentor or enroll a child, please visit www.weareempower.org
