Description

A bocce ball tournament supporting The Gillian Reny Stepping Strong Center for Trauma Innovation - Boston Marathon Team 2021. As many of my friends and family members know, it's been a huge goal of mine to run The Boston Marathon. Finally, after years and years of applying, I've been accepted as a member of the Brigham and Women's Hospital Stepping Strong Marathon Team for 2021. I have a personal fundraising goal of $7,500 and I'm hoping — that with the help of you all — I can make that a reality! The money I'm aiming to raise (alongside the rest of the stepping strong team) will help to fund projects and trainings included, but not limited to: Funding groundbreaking projects and innovators that address clinical problems impacting both civilian and military patients, including the Ewing amputation, a revolutionized lower extremity amputation first featured on CNN.Training the next generation of plastic surgeons in advanced and innovative techniques for treating acute and complex traumatic injury with The Stepping Strong Plastic Surgery Trauma Fellowship — the first fellowship of its kind.Transforming cutting-edge research in limb reconstruction, advanced stem cell technology, bioengineering, wound healing, and other trauma-related areas. Partnering with experts across the Brigham and Harvard Medical School to reduce the number and severity of traumatic injuries through the Stepping Strong Injury Prevention and Intervention program. Supporting the Stepping Strong Research Scholars who investigate bone and skin regeneration in trauma patients. Joining forces with military leaders and experts in the global community to ensure best practices in emergency preparedness.
