After 10 years, I am coming out of retirement to run the 130th Boston Marathon! I am honored to run as part of the Stepping Strong Boston Marathon Team. This foundation means so much to me both personally and professionally. As a Level I trauma center Emergency Department nurse, I am passionate about senseless acts of violence.  I see first hand the devastation trauma victims suffer. 
The Gillian Reny Stepping Strong Foundation provides: 

• Fuel Research: We support clinical studies and collaborative projects that accelerate solutions and improve trauma patient outcomes 
• Reimagine Care: We embrace the latest research to redefine best practices and transform trauma care for survivors
• Advance Education: We train the next generation of trauma leaders and empower the public to respond to trauma 
• Inspire Advocacy: We champion trauma survivors and injury prevention by raising awareness, supporting policy iniatives, and improving public safety

When you support a member of the Stepping Strong Boston Marathon Team, you're helping us turn tragedy into hope for civilian and military heroes who have suffered devestating traumatic injuries. As a solely philanthropically funded center, we depend on generous donations like yours to sustain our life-changing programs and iniatives.
