My team
My Story…
I am running my fourth Falmouth road race with Tedy's Team. Tedy's Team does incredible work and I am absolutely honored to be a part of this time once again. I run this race in honor of my grandfather a 7 time stroke survivor at one point in his life. The day my grandfather passed was the day I decided to become a nurse. Seeing from a young age the impact stoke can have on a family member is something that has molded me into who I am! My grandfather was left paralyzed to one side due to his strokes for the last 11 years of his life. From a very active man and US Navy Veteran to wheelchair-bound in just a short time. He never let his situation get him down, and was always a role model to me. His legacy of perseverance is what motivates me to take part in Tedy's Team!
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.
