Hi! My name is Karen Feeney and I have been a proud member of Tedy's Team since 2017. I joined Tedy's Team after my father suffered 3 TIA strokes in 2016. My family and I recognize how fortunate we were that there were no side effects that my father experienced. In an effort to give back and support surviviors and families that were not as fortunate.

Since joning Tedy's Team I have met so many amazing people that are all connected by the effects of stroke. We have become a family. My list of WHY I run and WHO I run for continues to grow. My first and last step will always be for my dad but every step in between has new meaning. 

The mission of Tedy's Team is to raise awareness for stroke and heart disease while supporting survivors on their journey, giving them a means for a comeback!

Tedy's Team was originally founded in 2005, when Tedy Bruschi, former linebacker for the New England Patriots suffered a stroke shortly after winning his 3rd Super Bowl and just days after returning from his first Pro Bowl. 

We are honored to be part of the Official Charity Program of the TCS NYC Marathon. New York Road Runners has allowed us to utilize their platform to elevate the awareness of the warning signs of stroke, which are best remembered by using the acronym BE FAST, which stands for: 

• Balance Difficulties
• Eyesight Changes
• Face Drooping
• Arm Weakness
• Speech Difficulties - and if you notice any of those warning signs, it's...
• TIME TO CALL 9-1-1.
