When you become a member of the Stepping Strong Center running teams, you help shape a world where those affected by traumatic injuries can reclaim their lives with strength and resilience.

Running for the Stepping Strong Center is close to my heart, as I work with the Division of Trauma, Burn, and Surgical Critical Care at the Brigham. The center’s impetus—that life can change in an instant and that trauma care innovations can transform recovery—is a reality I witness in my clinical work. Gillian Reny’s story continues to inspire, and running for this team is a concrete way to express my gratitude and support for all they do.”
