My Story…
This year I am running the Falmouth Road Race to benefit Tedy’s Team. It is run by Tedy Bruschi and helps raise stroke awareness. In his early years my father was an avid runner. In 2005, my father had a major embolic stroke due to an congenital cardiac birth defect . Thanks to the amazing care at MGH, Spaulding Rehab, and an inspiring visit from Tedy himself, my father made a huge recovery and was able to spend 4 more years with my family. I am so grateful for the extra years we had together and am proud to raise funds for such an amazing cause this year.
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.
