Dream Day on Cape Cod

Kooharian Family runs '08 Falmouth Road Race in dedication to their son, Anthony

The Kooharian family of Mashpee has been running the Falmouth road races since 2001. This year, they are running to raise funds for Dream Day on Cape Cod, a non-profit organization dedicated to serving families with children who have serious or life-threatening illnesses. Dream Day offers families the opportunity to spend one week at their camp in Brewster at no expense to them.

They are running the race this year in dedication to their son Anthony who passed away last spring from a progressively debilitating disorder called metachromatic leukodystrophy. Anthony loved Cape Cod and especially the Falmouth Road Race where each year at mile marker 4 he enjoyed watching the runners and the wheel chair racers whiz by.

“The Kooharian family’s goal is to raise $3,000.00 this summer so other families may enjoy our beautiful Cape Cod summers that Anthony loved so dearly.”
