Team Eye and Ear Falmouth 2024
Mass General Hospital is a wonderful hospital full of hard working healthcare professionals. When I was diagnosed with Wegner's disease in 2018, they were there to pull me from the jaws of death and continue to monitor my health and quality of life.
In particular, MGH Eye and Ear is where my laryngologist, Dr. Naumheim works. Every time I visit I have to get a camera shoved up my nose to check out my throat, but I'm still happy to see him. His sunny disposition and absolute professionalism always makes me feel like I'm in good hands.
I was worried after my diagnosis that my days of running, even as a hobby, were in jeopardy. Over the years, I've gained back my stamina, lung capacity and general self-confidence. Part of that mental recovery was Dr. Naunheim telling me about another patient of his that still did marathons after a similar diagnosis.
I haven't done a marathon yet and I still sound like a chain smoker when I run hard, but MGH is the reason I can even run at all. It's a wonderful cause and I am proud to support them. If you could support them as well, I would be more than grateful!
To make donating more enticing, just like a NASCAR car, I will write the name (and optional short message or advertisement) of every person who donates on either my arm or legs on the day of the race.
