Assistant Director, Clarke Boston
Here I go again! I ran my first Falmouth race last year after recovering from a broken ankle -- I love a challenge! This year I am stronger and more determined than ever to run a great race. To do that I need your help! I am running to support Clarke Schools for Hearing and Speech. As Assistant Director, I see every day the tremendous impact that Clarke has on children who are deaf and hard of hearing and their families. Your donation will help us to continue to provide quality services to families and children in southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
Jennifer Scott
Therapist, Wilmington Family Counseling Services
My name is Jennifer Scott. This will be my second year running the Falmouth Road Race for Clarke. I have been friends with the Director of the Boston campus of Clarke Schools for Hearing and Speech since Kindergarten. Cara has always been a huge support and role model for me. I am a therapist at Wilmington Family Counseling Services and practice a holistic model of health care, including physical, mental, and emotional well being. Running helps me deal with stress and stay healthy and I believe in passing it forward. I again dedicate my run to Cara and appreciate all of the hard work and inspiration she and her staff give to the families they serve.
Amanda Pelissier
Hi! My name is Amanda Pelissier and I will be running my fourth Falmouth Road Race. My father and I run together every morning and each year we do a few races to try and beat each other -- I’m ahead by one! Running is one of my loves and I am so excited that this year I get to do it in support of such a great cause. The Clarke Schools are doing something truly amazing. Through their dedication, they are providing children who are deaf and hard of hearing with the skills they need to live their lives to the fullest. Together, let’s give Clarke all the assistance we can so that we can so that they can continue to change lives every day. Thank you for your support!
Amy Zaferacopoulos
As an avid runner and supporter of Clarke I am proud to run the Falmouth Road Race on behalf of Clarke Schools for Hearing and Speech for a second year. When I was asked to run last year I said yes because I love to run, love to race and love Falmouth. As I began my fund-raising I soon realized the significant impact it was having on Clarke and its students as well as the impact Clarke has on the lives of many children and their families. To be able to combine my passion for running with a cause I truly believe in is an incredible opportunity. Thank you to my friends, family and all who support me in my run for Clarke this year. My journey is a mere 7 miles but the impact will last a lifetime. As I run Falmouth along this beautiful course I will think of each and every one of you! Run Amy Run!
