My team
My Story…
After running the 2022 Boston Marathon for Tedy's Team, I decided to come back for more! It was the honor of my life to run in my grandparents' memory, and I can't wait to do it again this summer at the Falmouth Road Race!
Less than a year before I was born, my grandfather suffered a stroke at age 61. His health deteriorated over the next few years, and he passed away before my fourth birthday.
My grandmother was like a second mother to me growing up. I always admired how strong and independent she was. When I was 16, she also suffered a stroke. Although she survived, she ended up with dementia as a result of the stroke and lost her ability to walk and talk. She finally passed nine years later.
After seeing how debilitating stroke can be, I hope that with the efforts of this team, at least one person can recognize the signs of stroke early enough in themselves or a loved one so that they can make a full recovery. I'm proud to be representing Tedy's Team again. Please consider supporting this great cause!
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.
