My Story
10 years ago I had the opportunity to run the Boston Marathon a year after the Boston Marathon bombing. It was an inspirational event that was rooted in the trauma from the year prior.
Now, I'll be running the London Marathon for Childhood First, an organization whose mission is to support victims of childhood trauma - a cause as worthy as any to support.
Meredith and I work with patients on a daily basis that are impacted by past trauma. This manifests in medical, psychiatric, and social challenges that are difficult to overcome. The importance of providing safety, shelter, structure and support to victims of trauma at an early age is paramount toward recovery.
As a healthcare professional and a parent, I am honored to be able to support Childhood First in their mission.
Meredith and I will be running this race together, and we hope you'll support us in any way that you can.
