Her ability to recruit both sponsors and volunteers, collaboration with town departments, and attention to detail make the race run as smoothly as possible each year, although the true success of the race is the passion put into it. Both the participants and the volunteers are outstandingly enthusiastic, all thanks to the Abbie’s endless energy. The Timlin Road Race began in 2004 and has raised over $1 million for ALS research. The race was inspired by Abbie’s good friend George Mazareas, who was diagnosed with ALS. The funds raised from the race are directed through the Angel Fund to support research conducted by Dr. Brown and his team at the Cecil B. Day Laboratory at UMass Medical School. Abbie shows a lifelong commitment to volunteerism and is a guiding example for how we can make our community a better place to live.
