Does your heart race before a presentation? Do your palms sweat at the thought of addressing a room full of colleagues or speaking at a loved one's wedding? Would you like to tell a story or do improv at an open mic?Public speaking consistently ranks among people's greatest fears. Yet, at some point, we have opportunities, and we want to do well.
Through techniques drawn from actor training, you will learn to shift your focus away from internal anxiety and toward what truly matters: your physical presence, your vocal power, and your ability to tell a compelling story. Acting is not about pretending; it is about being fully present and connected to your audience. These same principles can turn public speaking from a source of dread into an opportunity for genuine connection.

Hello Middletown Patch!
On November 1, 2026, my father, Drew McEnroe, and I (Regan McEnroe) will be running in the NYC&nbsp;Marathon for the Alzheimer's Association!&nbsp; We are so excited to be participating in this race, and even more so to be raising funds and awareness for a cause that is very near and dear to our hearts. 
Our grandmother/mother, Rita McEnroe, suffered from Alzheimer's Disease. My family, like so many others, was devastated as we watched this disease consume Rita, ultimately turning her into someone we no longer recognized. However, we are not alone. So many families are touched by this disease, each with their own story and sadness. We are running this race to honor all of the loved ones who suffered and currently suffer from this absolutely horrible disease. 
We are also running to support everyone out there who may be caring for someone with Alzheimer's Disease.&nbsp; Caregiving can feel incredibly isolating and often caregivers are unsure where and who to turn to in times of need. Alzheimer’s Disease continues to touch the lives of more and more families each year, but with an aging population and a dwindling long-term care workforce, we will be hard-pressed to ensure that all those who suffer receive the care they deserve.&nbsp; We know how important it is to raise awareness about the resources that these caregivers can access, and that is part of our mission as well.&nbsp;
We are committed to raising $10,000 to support efforts that strengthen the long-term care workforce and advance research for this disease in hopes of one day finding a cure. &nbsp;We are so appreciative of all the support we have and continue to receive from family, friends, and community members. We are turning to our fellow Middletown residents to support this cause and help in the fight against Alzheimer's. 
This is a link to our fundraising page:&nbsp;<a href="https://events.alz.org/fundraisers/mcenroe" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://events.alz.org/fundraisers/mcenroe</a>&nbsp;On it you will see a picture of Rita as we choose to remember her, always with a smile on her face.&nbsp;
We really appreciate you taking the time to review our story and consider making a donation to our cause. While raising the money is a top priority, we also think it is equally important to spread awareness, and we are just as happy to be getting our message out there.&nbsp;
Thank You!
