The thousand mile journey starts with just one step.
– Lao Tzu
Caring for a child with a serious illness is like running a long-distance race. It can be lonely and exhausting, and it is very very difficult. As with running, with the right support, endurance builds and families become more resilient. With time and guidance, families feel empowered and able to cope with the challenges they face. Courageous Parents Network provides that support and guidance to caregivers.
Thank you to everyone who donated to Team CPN in 2023! We exceeded our goal of $25,000 raising more than $30,000.
In 2023, we had 15 runners on Team CPN. We will have more information on how many bibs Team CPN will have and an updated fundraising goal in early 2024. Please check back for more information on CPN’s involvement with the 2024 Falmouth Road Race.
