My team
Help Me Raise Funds for Stroke and Heart Disease!
Tedy's Team foundation was started by Tedy Bruschi, a former New England Patriots player who suffered a stroke in February of 2005 at the age of 31. In November of 2017, my wife and I welcomed our beautiful daughter Chloe into the world. Chloe was one of the estimated 1 in 3000 babies a year that suffered a perinatal stroke in the hours before she was born. We are extremely grateful that our team of doctors were able to immediately recognize the signs of stroke. They were able to get Chloe transported to a hospital that could provide the therapy she needed in the hours after she was born. A little over 6 years later, Chloe is a now thriving happy toddler with no limitations or signs of having a stroke. She is one incredible little girl! Tedy and Chloe are proof that strokes can happen at any age and to people of all backgrounds, even professional athletes but also proof that survivors can make a comeback! I'm so happy to be supporting Tedy's Team and celebrating Chloe's successfu
