Athlete and advocate, Tedy Bruschi, formerly of the New England Patriots, recently expressed his heartfelt appreciation to News 9 regarding the significant funds gathered for his charitable initiative, Tedy’s Team. This collaboration has brought together regional media outlets with a shared mission to support stroke survivors and advance research in this critical area. The collective effort aims not only to raise awareness but also to inspire community involvement.

Inspired by the overwhelming response, the fundraising target has been adjusted upwards from its original $50,000 goal. Now aiming for $65,000, the campaign seeks to amplify its positive influence on those affected by strokes and heart conditions. With the help of local broadcasters like WMUR and their affiliates across New England, the movement continues to grow stronger. Sean McDonald from WMUR is set to participate in the prestigious Boston Marathon, symbolizing both personal challenge and commitment towards this cause.

Bruschi emphasizes that every contribution plays an essential role in funding vital programs dedicated to combating cardiovascular diseases. Through these combined efforts, communities come together under one banner promoting health education while honoring individuals impacted by such medical emergencies. Such initiatives remind us all how compassion paired with action leads toward meaningful societal change.
