As a board-certified neurological physical therapist at Spaulding Rehabilitation, I have seen patients recover from unimaginable injuries and illnesses over the years. As I enter my 15th year working for Spaulding Rehabilitation, turn 40 years old, and undergo big life changes, I felt as though there was no better time than to run in support of the organization that has brought me so much happiness and positivity over the years.

The perseverance and determination that my patients show up with every day has fueled me to become the best version of myself and push myself to its limits. There is no better time to push myself to the limits just as my patients always do for me. I can’t imagine running in support of a more deserving organization and I am proud to call Spaulding Rehabilitation my second home and family.
