After 9 years and 9 marathons... I'm going to make it 10 and 10... this is the last one I have in me, maybe...

Welcome to my fundraising page for the New York Marathon in support of Tedy's Team! I am thrilled to be running this iconic race while raising funds for a cause close to my heart. As some of you may know, my late mother-in-law Marianne had a stroke in her late 50’s and passed away 6 years later, this is a cause that literally hits home for the Perry Family. Tedy's Team is dedicated to fighting stroke, spreading awareness, and aiding survivors in their journey to recovery. Your support will make a real difference in the lives of those impacted by stroke.

• Balance Difficulties
• Eyesight Changes
• Face Drooping
