My Story
Hi friends!
As many of you already know, I had a pulmonary embolism in 2016. It was... a lot. ICU. Life support. The whole deal. In the words of one of my nurses, "Kelly. *No one* has a PE like you had a PE."
To raise funds for and awareness of blood clots, I'm participating in 100,000 Reasons to Ride as a way to pay forward a small amount of the care, expertise, and love I received from the many people who made my recovery possible. I hope that through research and better awareness of blood clots that it can really be true that no one ever again has a PE like I did.
I hope you'll consider making a donation to my team (the Opalescent Tree-Sharks--shoutout to Leslie Knope!). I already donate $36 for the 36 years I've been on this Earth to NBCA every month, but for Blood Clot Awareness Month I'm going to add $1 for every mile I log. My goal is to walk or cycle 75 miles this month and donate an additional $75.
Description
The National Blood Clot Alliance (NCBA) is gearing up for Blood Clot Awareness Month this year in a BIG way! In honor of the 100,000 lives lost each year to blood clots, NBCA is setting out to RIDE 100,000 miles, RAISE $100,000 and REACH 100,000 people.
I'm teaming up with NBCA’s Team Stop the Clot® for a 31-day virtual ride challenge throughout the month of March to help raise these critical funds to support NBCA’s programs and services.
NBCA's mission means a lot to me personally. Your donation of any amount will help support National Blood Clot Alliance’s vision of creating a future in which fewer lives are lost to preventable blood clots.
