MEET RAYCE!

My name is Rayce, I am 33 years old, and I am a physical therapist and educator. I was born and raised in the DFW area and now live in Richardson, Texas with my boyfriend Rob, and our one- year-old golden retriever Charlotte. I am extremely excited to be running the NYC Marathon to raise money for Therapists Beyond Borders. Supporting TBB is especially meaningful to me because of their focus on training trainers and local providers to build sustainable rehabilitation programs in underserved areas. I have seen firsthand the benefit of developing long-term, community-driven medical care in other parts of the world, but multidisciplinary rehabilitation services are often lacking, and this is a discipline in the global healthcare system in critical need of greater attention and resources. Empowering these communities with rehab tools and education which builds on itself can have a huge impact well into the future. Running is also very important to me because it has become my physical outlet after knee injuries kept me from playing soccer. It helps me stay disciplined while trying to better myself and keeps me sane when life gets crazy. It’s even how I met my partner; our first date was running around White Rock Lake in Dallas. I have run one marathon and several half marathons, and I am now ready to tackle the boroughs of NYC. I am very proud to represent such an amazing organization and humbly ask that you consider making a donation.

ABOUT THERAPISTS BEYOND BORDERS

Therapists Beyond Borders is an international nonprofit organization whose mission is to empower individuals with disabilities around the world through community-based training programs related to physical, occupational, and speech therapy.

Disability legislation and rehabilitation programs are commonly under-resourced around the world. As a result, millions of people who require therapy do not receive adequate treatment. Our goal: extend education surrounding disability and provide therapeutic skills training to individuals with disabilities, families, caregivers, and local therapists in countries with underfunded healthcare systems.

Our focus is to foster self-sustaining, locally run therapy programs that build community capacity to provide skillful care for their most vulnerable members. Our vision is a world where individuals of all abilities can reach their own unique potential, and where all communities, despite the unequal distribution of global resources, still have the capacity to care for their own.
