My name is Michael Francis, and I am a junior at Gloucester High School. I am a three-season student athlete, running cross country and track. I am currently training to run my first marathon this coming May in Vermont! I am a member of the student council and the National Honors Society.

In December of 2018, my auntie and her family suffered a tragic loss as a result of domestic violence. Since then, I have walked and raised funds for The Orange Rose Foundation, which supports victims of domestic abuse. I feel as though I can do more. I would like to raise funds through this GoFundMe to help support The Orange Rose Foundation and all the people it helps.

The Orange Rose Foundation has aided so many, and I look forward to helping them continue its mission through my training and running the Maple Leaf Marathon. Thank you for considering donating to this cause that is so near to my heart and that of my family!
