My Story…
Meg and I are both looking forward to running one of our favorite all-time courses this August to support a cause that means a lot to both of us and impacts the lives of over 900 kids in foster care and 2,500 families in Massachusetts every year.
MARE played a critical role in our family's adoption journey - contributing to our very first connection with our son and providing us with helpful advice and support throughout the foster-to-adoption process.
Since then, Meg has joined the MARE staff and gets to see firsthand the incredible commitment, dedication, and all-in approach that her coworkers bring to their work every day to make life-changing connections for children and teens in foster care.
If you'd like to support our run and this incredible organization, please do!
Description
Thank you for supporting my run to make life-changing connections for youth in foster care.
On August 16th, I'm running the 2026 ASICS Falmouth Road Race to support the work of the Massachusetts Adoption Resource Exchange, Inc. MARE's mission is to build connections for youth in foster care with permanent and adoptive families.
Committed to providing children and teens in foster care with the support and love they need to thrive, MARE strives to connect each youth they serve with the permanent family they deserve. MARE offers guidance and support to families so they can provide their children with long-term stability, healing, and a sense of belonging.
To support MARE's mission, my goal is to raise $1,500 on behalf of the children and teens in Massachusetts foster care who have a goal of adoption, but no identified resource or family member to provide a permanent home.
Thank you for your donation! Together, we're bringing families together.
