I’m running the Ragnar Relay Reach the Beach Relay—a 200-ish mile, nonstop relay from Lancaster to Hampton Beach, NH, with a team of 12! I'm so grateful to join team Runs For Beer this year. It's my first relay, and I'm incredibly excited (and a little nervous!) for this epic adventure.

But we're running for more than just the challenge. Our team is raising critical funds for breast cancer research at UMass Medical in honor of Megan Lally. While I didn’t have the privilege of knowing Megan personally, her story is a powerful reminder of why this fight matters:

➡️ 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer.
➡️ It’s the second leading cause of cancer death in women.

I've watched brave friends face this diagnosis, and it fuels my desire to help. Now more than ever, we must fund the research that will one day eradicate this disease!

Here’s how you can make a direct impact:

Our team goal is to surpass last year's total of $13,500. And here’s some amazing news: In a beautiful nod to Megan’s love of math (she had a pi tattoo!), our team captains Sarah and Alex Fanous are generously matching the first $3,141.59 raised! Your donation (big or small) has the opportunity to be DOUBLED, driving us toward our goal twice as fast. Please consider supporting our run and this vital cause. Every single dollar brings us closer to a world without breast cancer.
