Running the Falmouth Road Race for NephCure and Andrew
Elise Warhaftig ran the Falmouth Road Race on Sunday, August 9 in honor of her eight-year-old son, Andrew, who suffers from FSGS.
She finished the seven-mile run in 58 minutes, 33 seconds, raising over $31,000 for The NephCure Foundation in the process.
“The race was an amazing experience,” says Elise who finished in the top 20% of over 10,000 other runners. “I was so excited to be running for Andrew and The NephCure Foundation. It was a picture perfect day, which was a bonus. It was such a great feeling and I ran a fast race, at least for me.”
Andrew was diagnosed with the kidney disease when he was only four-years-old. Two years later his kidneys stopped working, and by the time he was seven he already had to have a kidney transplant, donated by his father.
