My Story…
I am so excited to be back fundraising again for Tedy's Team! This summer I will be tackling my first Falmouth Road Race with my husband, Lowell. Each of has fundraised and run for Tedy's Team individually in the past. This year we are excited to be participating in our first run together for an organization that has made a meaningful impact on our lives.
Tedy's Team foundation was started by Tedy Bruschi, a former New England Patriots player who suffered a stroke in February of 2005 at the age of 31.
In November of 2017, Lowell and I welcomed our beautiful daughter Chloe into the world. Chloe was one of the estimated 1 in 3000 babies a year that suffered a perinatal stroke in the hours before she was born. We are extremely grateful that our team of doctors were able to immediately recognize the signs of stroke. They were able to get Chloe transported to a hospital that could provide the therapy she needed in the hours after she was born. A little over 4 years later, Chloe is a now a thriving and happy preschooler with no limitations or signs of having a stroke. She is one incredible girl!
Tedy and Chloe are proof that strokes can happen at any age and to people of all backgrounds, even professional athletes but also proof that survivors can make a comeback!
I'm so happy to be supporting Tedy's Team once again and celebrating Chloe's successful recovery.
