Led by New England Patriot, Tedy Bruschi, Tedy's Team is in its second year of leading runners to the finish line of completing a marathon. In furthering the American Stroke Association's mission of reducing death & disability from stroke, Tedy's Team strives to increase recognition and awareness of stroke risk factors, warning signs, and response once the onset of symptoms are present.

Tedy's Team members receive a full 5-month training program led by one of the industry's top trainers (who specializes in training runners of all abilities), weekend group runs, training clinics & team meetings, and complete team apparel.

Tedy's Team participants will also receive complete fundraising support from experienced staff. Fundraising tips, ideas, supplies, and resources will be at each team member's disposal at all times to ensure success.

Team members raise funds to honor a "Stroke Hero", someone in their life that has been touched by stroke. While participants may have their own personal stroke hero, Tedy is also stepping forward to serve as an additional stroke hero for each participant. Whether someone runs in support of Tedy, or their own stroke hero, the important thing is that they have joined the fight against stroke and are dedicated to do all they can to help the cause.
