Supporting healthy oceans, sustainable fishing and strong coastal communities on Cape Cod.

Dear Friends and Family,

If you know my family, you know that our summers belong to Chatham where you can almost always find all of us out on the water.  We have made endless memories on the Cape Cod waters and have a tremendous respect for the ocean along with a true appreciation for the local fishing community.

I care deeply about conserving our waters and I want to ensure that future generations can experience the same thriving marine life and vibrant fishing culture that we enjoy today. To support this vital mission, I am running the 2026 Falmouth Road Race and raising funds for the Cape Cod Commercial Fishermen's Alliance

This fundraising effort is tied to a very special milestone. While I have run the iconic, 7-mile Falmouth Road Race four times before, this year is extra meaningful because my daughter Anna is joining me! We are incredibly proud to be teaming up together to tackle these 7 miles and support such a worthy cause.

The Fishermen's Alliance is taking action right now to make sure there is a future for both fish and fishermen. Every dollar brings us closer to a healthier ocean and a stronger community.  Thank you so much for supporting my run and investing in the future of Cape Cod's waters!  




Description


Cape Cod Commercial Fishermen's Alliance is proud to be participating for the ninth consecutive year in the iconic Falmouth Road Race as part of the Numbers for Nonprofits Program. Our fantastic team is running to raise funds to help us continue our work advocating for our historic small boat fishing industry and sustainable fishing on Cape Cod.

Founded in 1991 by the local fishing fleet, Fishermen's Alliance engages the local fishing community in building lasting solutions to protect the ocean ecosystem and the future of Cape Cod's small-boat fishing fleet.

Fishermen's Alliance stands for:

  • A Healthy Ocean Environment: We advocate for healthy oceans to ensure sustainable and successful fishing businesses.
  • Fishermen Driving Science: Fishermen partner with scientists to conduct research to inform sensible and forward-looking fishing regulations.
  • Economic Development: We invest in fisheries to provide opportunities for both today's fishermen and future generations to build their businesses.
  • Community: We bring fishermen and our community together to create connections that support the local fishing industry and its value to the community.
  • Sustainable Solutions: We believe a healthy marine environment is essential to the success and sustainability of Cape Cod's economy. Fishermen's Alliance is taking action now to make sure there will be a future for fish and fishermen.


Thank you for supporting healthy oceans, sustainable fishing and strong coastal communities on Cape Cod!
