Stoneham Resident Runs Falmouth Road Race for Local Youth Mentoring Programs

On August 17, Nicole Cronin, of Stoneham, 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, she 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.

Cronin is a BBBS staff member and past Falmouth Road Race runner. “I see the impact that our agency has on the community each and every day. Seeing the smiles on kids faces when they meet their new ‘Big’ and hearing about all the ways that their mentor has impacted them is extremely special, but we can't do it without your help,” says Cronin, 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.

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 Nicole who champion our mission across Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket and Plymouth. Their efforts help ensure that caring, committed mentors remain a steady presence for the youth who need them most.”
