We are so proud to be running the 2026 Falmouth Road Race as a team, raising money for the Mass General Hospital Lurie Center for Autism.
The Lurie Center supports individuals and families through every stage of life. Through education, hardships, and the special moments in between, the facility provides access to treatment and opportunities for people of all ages living with autism.
If you know us, you know we're inseparable. For years, we've dreamed of running Falmouth together, and now we're finally doing it (and for a cause we both truly believe in.) With ties to loved ones, both personally and in our wider circles, who are on the spectrum, we are honored to represent a cause that gives back to those facing developmental disabilities.
Every donation helps the Lurie Center continue its incredible work. Thank you for supporting us on this journey!
Description
All funds raised through the ASICS Falmouth Road Race support the Family Support Team at the Lurie Center for Autism — a vital consultative resource that helps patients and families navigate the complex medical, therapeutic, and life decisions involved in caring for an individual with autism. Whether families have questions about insurance, educational services, adult programs, or sibling adjustment, the generosity of event donors ensures the Family Support Team is always just a phone call away. In addition to meeting one-on-one with families, the team responds to an estimated 7,500 calls each year and conducts more than 4,500 follow-up calls.
Autism diagnoses continue to rise, and the number of patients served by the Lurie Center is steadily increasing, with more than 10,000 appointments completed in the past year alone. Unfortunately, health insurance reimbursements cover less than half of the clinic’s clinical costs.
Charitable support is therefore essential to sustaining this work — and this year offers a unique chance to make an even greater impact. Thanks to the Nancy Lurie Marks Foundation, every donation will be matched dollar for dollar, doubling the power of each gift.
