My team
My Story…
I'm not much of a runner, but I have become a big supporter of Tedy's Team over the past few years. My significant other has been on the team for 4 years and has run 5 races, all while fundraising to raise awareness and fight stroke. I've been there to cheer and support her and the team to the best of my ability. Both of her parents are stroke survivors, and very recently a friend of mine (who's younger than me), just survived two separate stroke events. I've also made many friends on the team who are survivors themselves.
It's time I stopped watching and started running, so this is my first foray into running road races and fundraising myself for this fantastic organization.
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.
