My Fundraising Page
I am so excited to be a part of the 2025 Brigham Stepping Strong Marathon Team. To finally be able to receive my 6th Star is a dream come true. This will be my 15th marathon and my 6th World Major. I have been a Family Practice Physician for over 20 years and raising money for this amazing charity is dear to my heart!!!
The mission of The Gillian Reny Stepping Strong Center for Trauma Innovation is to catalyze trauma innovation for injured civilians and military heroes, through multidisciplinary investigative collaborations across the continuum of trauma care, from prevention to treatment and recovery. Stepping Strong funded initiatives are making a profound difference for trauma patients and their families worldwide. To date, the center has raised more than $27 million. But much more needs to be done.
Trauma is often referred to as the neglected global epidemic of modern society. According to the Centers for Disease Control:
- Trauma is the number one cause of death for people 44 or younger, ahead of cancer and heart disease
- More than $2 trillion per year is spent on decreased productivity, work loss and medical costs due to traumatic injuries
- Trauma accounts for more than 300,000 deaths annually in the U.S., often leaving survivors with permanent mental and physical disabilities
- Traumatic injuries comprise 40% of visits to emergency departments
- Less than 2% of NIH funding is allocated toward trauma research, perpetuating enormous human and financial costs
The Stepping Strong Center remains absolutely committed to filling this gap. When you support a member of the Brigham's Stepping Strong Marathon Team, you are helping the center turn tragedy into hope for civilians and military heroes worldwide who have suffered devastating traumatic injuries.
Thank you for supporting this extraordinary group of runners and continuing to honor the Boston Strong spirit that still defines our city today.
