Welcome to My Personal Page
My name is Sarah and I will be running the 2024 NYC Marathon to raise money for Tedy's Team. Last year, my sister, Christina suffered from a a transient ischemic attack (TIA), commonly known as a mini-stroke. TIA causes the same symptoms associated with strokes, such as weakness or numbness on one side of the body, sudden dimming or loss of vision, difficulty speaking or understanding language, slurred speech, or confusion. Please help me raise money for stroke and heart disease research and to assist other people who are afflicted.
