September Athlete of the Month

September...

Really September...?

How are we doing?

Are we still having all of the emotions below all at once...?

FEAR
ANGER
FRUSTRATION
ANXIETY
INSPIRATION
REFLECTION
CAUTION
AWARENESS
SADNESS
EMPATHY
LOVE
OPPORTUNITY

It has bee a rollercoaster of a journey day after day so far and for sure I am experience all of the emotions listed above.

But we are overcoming all of the challenges and that should make us proud.  Getting through each day is an accomplishement simple because there is a lot going on.

Not only we are overcoming but also blossoming.  NBCA (STOPTHECLOT.org) sure is on that trajectory as we begin preparation for our first VIRTUAL 5K to STOPTHECLOT.  

Very excited about being able to participate in this event while sporting the CLOT BUSTER #StopTheClot polka-dots.  

Join us virtually to run, walk, jog or even cycle to support NBCA. Participate from any location at any level of athletic ability. Run your own race at your own pace and time it yourself. Register here: https://bit.ly/3io2qWg #stoptheclot

BLOOD CLOT SURVIVORS CAN DO ANYTHING

And because blood clot survivors can do anything here is another story of a blood clots survivor that for sure will INSPIRE YOU.

Matt's story comes to us through NBCA's websiste... Please read on and learn from Matt's experience with blood clots as I am certain that you will find it very interesting.

It is definitely possible to get back to normal... or almost normal after your clotting incident.  Being aware of your body and giving it time is by far the best strategy for your body and mind to heal.

Keep it up and never give up.

Thanks for reading,
