Team Ortho: Helping Research One Race at a Time |
|
|
You may know Team Ortho more as a team of runners you see a lot during marathons – those guys and gals with those blue and orange “targets” on their shirts-- but one step at a time this growing non-profit is helping Americans who suddenly find themselves with a traumatic injury.
Team Ortho Foundation officially became a non-profit in 2004. The brainchild of John Larson, Executive Director of Team Ortho, the group sets out to do “safe, high-quality races throughout the year to keep people active.” Staying active is one of the best defenses against orthopaedic injuries, to areas like knees, hips, and the spine. Exercise increases or maintains your bone density; as a result you may be able to better avoid injury in the future.
But inspiring people to run or ride their bike is not all Team Ortho does. With its four big races each quarter, the organization raises money for research. Every year Team Ortho donates money to the Shriner’s Hospital, the Orthopaedic Trauma Association
