My team
My Story…
Take Two - March 2022, came with a unexpected challenge that I had to fight through. After feeling weakness, loss of vision and unable to speak I was rushed to the hospital. After undergoing imagining and labs, a team of doctors and nurses shared that I have suffered from a stroke. I am blessed to say, that my recovery is on track, and I have regained my strength, vision and speech. After hearing this news, I knew I had a fight that I refused to lose. Every day, I am getting back to where I want and need to be, so I can proudly cross the Falmouth Road Race finish line not only as a survivor but also to help raise awareness of strokes, the warning signs, and symptoms.
Thank you to all my friends, family, and coworkers who have made this challenge seem a bit less than a challenge, and for being the best support system, without you all I wouldn’t be where I am today. I won’t give up.
