My Story…
My first in-person Falmouth Road Race is in honor of my cousin Jazmine Diaz, who did not recover from an SAH. It is a type of stroke that is caused by a brain aneurysm, with a mortality rate of 45%. I'm running for Tedy's Team, whose goal is to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of stroke. Please help me continue to champion Jazmine's legacy, and help me raise funds that can help stroke survivors make a strong comeback.
Description
The mission of Tedy's Team is to raise awareness for stroke and heart disease while supporting survivors on their journey, giving them a means for a comeback!
Tedy's Team was originally founded in 2005, when Tedy Bruschi, former linebacker for the New England Patriots suffered a stroke shortly after winning his 3rd Super Bowl and just days after returning from his first Pro Bowl.
Since its inception in 2005, Tedy’s Team has raised over $7 million for stroke research and education programs with the support and dedication of more than 1,200 participants. In addition to raising funds, Tedy’s Team continues to raise awareness of stroke and its warning signs and symptoms.
