Jack Carter's Fundraising Page
The mission of Stepping Strong 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.
As a life long runner, Boston local, and someone who has first hand experience with traumatic injuries and the rehabilitation process, I am both honored and thrilled to be running my first marathon here in Boston and for an incredible organization. Please consider donating to support my fundraising goal of $9,500 - any and all amounts count!
To anyone interested in learning more about Stepping Strong or my marathon journey please don't hesitate to reach out.

- Trauma is the number one cause of death for people 44 or younger, ahead of cancer and heart disease.
- Traumatic injuries comprise 40% of visits to emergency departments.
- More than $2 trillion per year is spent on decreased productivity, work loss, and medical costs due to traumatic injuries.
- Despite the significant burden of trauma, less than 2% of federal funding is allocated toward trauma research, inhibiting our ability to understand how to prevent, treat, and improve recovery from traumatic injury.
Brigham and Women's Hospital is a proud partner of the Bank of America Boston Marathon Official Charity Program.
