My Story…
Thank you for stopping by my fundraising page!
As a Boston-area local and veteran, the Stepping Strong Center really hits home. The services they provide to friends, colleagues, and those who have faced traumatic injuries in the line of duty, and who happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, fills a much needed void in medical and psychological services.
Along with fundraising, my goal for running the Falmouth Road Race with the Stepping Strong Center Team is to spread the word that the Center exists so that those who need its services know where to look. If you are able to donate - wonderful! If you are not, please do spread the word that the Stepping Strong Center is available to aid those who have suffered a traumatic injury.
About Stepping Strong
In 2013, Boston was changed forever when a beautiful Marathon Monday turned into a senseless tragedy. Gillian Reny, then a high school senior, was one of the 39 critically injured patients rushed to Brigham and Women’s Hospital, where doctors and nurses saved her life and both of her legs. In gratitude to the Brigham, the Reny family established The Gillian Reny Stepping Strong Center for Trauma Innovation to help other trauma patients like Gillian regain their strength and ability to step strong once again.The mission of The Gillian Reny Stepping Strong Center for Trauma Innovation is to catalyze trauma innovation for injured civilians and military heroes, through multidisciplinary investigative collaborations across the continuum of trauma care, from prevention to treatment and recovery. Stepping Strong funded initiatives are making a profound difference for trauma patients and their families worldwide. To date, the center has raised more than $27 million. But much more needs to be done.Trauma is often referred to as the neglected global epidemic of modern society as it accounts for 43 million hospital visits and an economic burden of $700 billion per year. It is the number one cause of death for people 46 or younger, ahead of cancer and heart disease -- and every 3 minutes, someone dies from a traumatic injury. When you support a member of the Brigham Stepping Strong Marathon Team, you are helping the Brigham turn tragedy into hope for civilian and military members worldwide who have suffered devastating traumatic injuries.
Thank you for supporting this extraordinary group of runners and continuing to honor the Boston Strong spirit that still defines our city today.
