My Story…
This year I will be joining Tedy Bruschi's Stroke Team for the 2nd time in the Falmouth Road Race 7 miler. This organization is very near and dear to my heart as I continue to raise my very own pediatric stroke hero. My oldest son suffered a stroke in-utero. This event left him with right sided hemi-paresis. He has very limited use of his right side, especially his arm. Despite all of this, he continues to amaze me each and every day. He plays baseball and soccer, he even made our All Star Team this past summer and will tryout again soon for this season. He is a kind friend and a very hard worker. This year I will run for him! 7 miles is still a lot for me, but I am already training hard for it!
Any donation is appreciated for this wonderful cause organized by an amazing role model himself, Tedy Bruschi.
