This May, I’ll be running the Providence Marathon in memory of my dad, Michael Lamoureux.
As many of you know, my dad fought a courageous battle with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). He was truly one of a kind—strong, kind, and sense of humor that is hard to find. Watching this devastating disease slowly take pieces of him was one of the hardest things our family has ever experienced.
There is still no cure for ALS, and it continues to impact more families every single day. That’s why I’m running in support of Compassionate Care ALS (CCALS), an incredible organization that provides direct support to individuals living with ALS and their families. They were a true lifeline for my dad and for all of us during an unimaginably difficult time.
Since losing my dad, running has become my outlet—my way to cope, to heal, and to keep moving forward. I know he would want me to continue living life to the fullest, and I carry him with me in every mile.
If you’re able please consider donating to support this amazing cause. Every contribution no matter the size helps provide care, resources, and hope to families facing ALS. Thank you for supporting me, honoring my dad, and helping make a difference.
