You are now just 17 weeks away from your remarkable 26.2-mile journey from Hopkinton to Boston. On behalf of countless patients worldwide who suffer from the devastation of traumatic injuries and events, we thank you for supporting the Stepping Strong Center.
As a reminder, Saturday training runs starts THIS SATURDAY, 12/16, with Coach John. Teammates will embark on a six – ten mile run that starts at Joint Venture Physical Therapy (533 Commonwealth Ave in Kenmore Square, Boston) at 8AM. Doors will open at 7:30AM and you will have access to a changing area and water.
Make sure to wear your Stepping Strong hat and be ready for a group photo that we will take before you depart! Ali, Ally, and Caroline will be there on Saturday so please call/text Ally (857 523 8052) or Ali (857 505 1225) if you need any support Saturday morning. Please make sure to introduce yourselves so we can get to know each and every one of your incredible teammates! Also, don’t forget to join us afterwards back at Joint Ventures for bagels and mingling! If you haven’t already and plan on attending, RSVP by clicking HERE!
Be sure to check out John’s website or his latest email for more information and to keep up to date on the training schedule.
