Annabelle Beaton's Fundraising Page
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 the 39 critically injured patients rushed to Brigham and Women’s Hospital, where doctors and nurses saved her life and both of her legs. In gratitude to the Brigham, the Reny family established The Gillian Reny Stepping Strong Center for Trauma Innovation to help other trauma patients like Gillian regain their strength and ability to step strong once again.
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. As the daughter, granddaughter, and niece of veterans, I intimately understand the significance of having a source of support, offering not only practical assistance but a sense of belonging and understanding.
Importantly, the Stepping Strong Foundation also advocates for suicide prevention and mental health awareness -- an especially personal cause for me since I lost my brother Jack to suicide. This experience has fundamentally altered my perspective on mental health and the pressing need for support and awareness. The Stepping Strong Foundation's focus on understanding the intricacies of trauma – both physical and emotional – reflects my personal values. This facet of their mission acknowledges a vital truth: that trauma isn't always confined to the physical realm. Moreover, those who experience physical trauma often bear the weight of emotional scars as well, which can be just as overwhelming as the physical injuries themselves. The foundation's commitment to addressing this aspect of trauma underscores its comprehensive approach and its understanding that true healing encompasses both body and mind. By running as part of this team, I am determined to honor my brother's memory and contribute to a cause that aims to prevent such losses in the future.
The BWH Stepping Strong Team offers me a chance to unite my passion for running with an unyielding dedication to supporting the foundation's mission. While running I will carry the resilient spirit of New England, honor my brother Jack, and contribute to a foundation that inspires compassion and innovation to positively impact the lives of those impacted by trauma.
Thank you for supporting me and this extraordinary group of runners and continuing to honor the Boston Strong spirit that still defines our city today.
