Hello Everyone, I am running and fundraising with Stepping Strong for the 2025 Boston Marathon. This will be my second time running Boston Marathon, and I was inspired by this wonderful organization. In 2024, I was able to sit down and meet this exciting team and see how they were helping Trauma victims through their Stepping Strong Centre for Trauma.  This incredible organization was created after the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing.  

In 2013, Boston was changed forever when a beautiful Marathon Monday turned into a senseless tragedy. Gillian Reny, then a high school senior, was one of 39 critically injured patients rushed to Brigham and Women’s Hospital, where doctors and nurses saved her life and legs. With gratitude to the Brigham, the Reny family established The Gillian Reny Stepping Strong Center for Trauma Innovation to help other trauma patients regain their strength and ability to step strong once again.
