What is Tedy's team!? 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. All of the events we participate in have allowed us to utilize their platform to elevate the awareness of the warning signs of stroke, which are best remembered by using the acronym BE FAST, which stands for:
- Balance Difficulties
- Eyesight Changes
- Face Drooping
- Arm Weakness
- Speech Difficulties - and if you notice any of those warning signs, it's...
- TIME TO CALL 9-1-1.
When I was just merely 17 years old, I was diagnosed with high blood pressure. A healthy, active teenager held back from participating in school sports because of my high blood pressure - not something that I was hoping for my senior year of high school. Since then, my blood pressure is always at the forefront of every activity I do. However, I do not let that stop me from competing in races (I have completed 5 triathlons and 1 half marathon!). Because of my blood pressure, I am unfortunately at a higher risk of having a stroke, so Tedy's team is near and dear to my heart - I am always listening to my body and try to take measures to control my blood pressure. Please consider making a donation for this cause - your donation will help survivors who have experienced a stroke/heart attack on their new journey and will continue to raise awareness for everyone around the world.
Donations to Tedy's Team are non-refundable and fully tax deductible.
