Tedy's Team Fundraising Page: Brendan Sweeney

Hello and THANK YOU!

Thank you for coming to my fundraising page and help me get to the finish line for the 2023 New York City Marathon!

This will be my 4th marathon with Tedy's Team, I have run 3 Boston Marathons with the team and could not be more excited to be venturing down to the Big Apple!

Tedy's Team means so much to me and my family. We are firm believers in the mission of Tedy's Team and helping to spread stroke awareness. We lost my maternal grandfather, Dan Davis, and my paternal grandmother, Margaret Sweeney, to stroke complications. Each time I have run the Boston Marathon, I have had my two stroke heroes with me.

I am honored to be a member of Tedy's Team - an organization that has given me some of my favorite memories and brought so many great friends into my life.

Please learn the warning signs of stroke. You could save a life!

New York Road Runners has 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.

BE FAST is an acronym to help you quickly recognize common signs of a stroke and to take any necessary action by calling for emergency medical services. Other symptoms may include sudden and severe unexplained headache or migraine with no obvious cause, and confusion or trouble understanding things they would normally know.

Please also note the warning signs of heart attack are:

Chest pain and discomfort
Lightheadedness, nausea or vomiting
