Aortic Disease Support Group Survey
Many people contact the John Ritter Foundation for Aortic Health and the John Ritter Research Program looking for support groups. Unfortunately, very few currently exist. We would like to identify existing groups and facilitate new groups. If you are interested in finding a support group or know of an existing group, please complete this survey which will be available through December 3, 2013: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1YO3sKI8Lu2V4z49kq-1fh4wfI-7XGAhaoFoM-4JmEWU/viewform
The 2013 Team Ritter ING NYC Marathon Team
On November 3, twenty-two Team Ritter runners ran the ING NYC Marathon on behalf of the John Ritter Foundation for Aortic Health and earned Finisher medals. Although this was not the first time some of the runners had completed a marathon, it may have been the most meaningful for them. Why? Because this race was only one milestone among many during their journey to the marathon.
Over the last five months, Team Ritter’s 2013 ING New York City Marathon running team has informed hundreds of people about thoracic aortic disease by sharing their stories at health fairs, during media interviews, at fundraising events, and by talking to anyone who would listen. To date, they have raised over $114,000 so we can inform and educate the public and medical professionals about thoracic aortic disease, provide support to individuals and families affected by aortic disease, and fund research. And they have done all this while training for a marathon!
We are very proud of this team. Please join us in congratulating Team Ritter on a job well done!
