Family and Friends-​

I am running the Falmouth Road Race again this year with Team "Adelia the Wonder Girl!" The amount of support that our team received from the community last year was incredible and we are continuing this fight!!

Last February, 8-year-old  Adelia, who is a schoolmate of my two daughters was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer, diffuse midline glioma. Over the past year, she has undergone 4 brain surgeries, 63 radiation treatments, and countless blood draws, scans and procedures.  Adelia is 15 months post-prognosis and is still fighting with all her might. With only experimental phase 1 clinical trials as treatment options, we need to do better for Adelia and all of the other children facing this disease. 

This year,  we will be dedicating all of our fundraising efforts to a new and desperately needed Brain Tumor Center that bridges Dana Farber and Boston Children's Hospital. This center is being spearheaded by Dr. Baird, arguably the best pediatric neurosurgeon in the world, and Dr. Filbin, one of the most brilliant and motivated researchers in this space.  This center strives to develop personalized, precision medicine, where they can deliver rapid real-time molecular analysis to allow more effective treatments to start sooner. The center will also be developing support systems for families, a vital necessity and currently a missing piece in providing high quality continuum of care.

Please join us as we run for Adelia and all of the other families and children's facing this diagnosis. We will be raise vital funds, elevate awareness about pediatric brain cancer, and become part of the CURE for this horrific disease. We can't wait to see you in Falmouth and THANK YOU for ALL your support!
