Arlington Resident Runs Falmouth Road Race for Local Youth Mentoring Programs

ARLINGTON, Mass. – On August 17, Conor Tuomey, of Arlington, will take on the Falmouth Road Race to support youth across Cape Cod and the Islands. Running on behalf of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cape Cod & the Islands, part of Massachusetts’ leading one-to-one mentoring program, he is raising funds and awareness to help youth to thrive with a caring adult in their corner.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cape Cod & the Islands, a proud member of the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Eastern Massachusetts family, is the only one-to-one youth mentoring organization serving every town on Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket and Plymouth. The agency is on a path to impact the lives of 1,000 youth with a mentor by 2028.

Tuomey has been a Big Brother for six years and is an active member of the Board of Advisors for Big Brothers Big Sisters.

“I’m incredibly excited to be running the Falmouth Road Race for the third time in support of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cape Cod & the Islands,” says Tuomey, who is one of over 25 Falmouth Road Race runners hitting the pavement and fundraising for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cape Cod & the Islands this year. “Being a Big Brother for the past six years has shown me just how life-changing mentorship can be—for the kids, and for the mentors, too. This organization has had a huge impact on me personally, and I’m proud to lace up again to help more youth find the support and connection they deserve.”

With research and proven outcomes at its core, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cape Cod & the Islands is working to defend the potential of children facing adversity and ensure every child has the support from caring adults that they need for healthy development and success in life.

“Mentoring creates a ripple effect,” says JR Mell, Regional Director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cape Cod & the Islands. “It doesn’t just support one young person, it strengthens families and entire communities. We’re incredibly grateful to individuals like Conor who champion our mission across Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket and Plymouth.
