WMUR is teaming up with its sister stations WCVB, WMTW, and WPTZ for a charity fundraiser to support Tedy's Team for the 2025 Boston Marathon. In addition to providing coverage for the Boston Marathon, participants from each media outlet will also run in it to support Tedy's Team.
Tedy's Team was created in 2005 by the family of Patriots star linebacker Tedy Bruschi, who suffered a stroke at age 31. Since its founding, Tedy's Team has raised more than $10 million to fund critical stroke research, reduce the number of deaths from strokes and heart disease, and support stroke survivors in their recovery.
“Tedy's Team is honored to be teaming up with the Hearst Television New England stations for this year's Boston Marathon. Having the opportunity to spread more awareness of our mission and the warning signs of stroke means a lot to us,” said Tedy Bruschi, co-founder of Tedy's Team, in a statement provided to WMUR. “We are excited to have their stations' teams run with us in April and look forward to seeing them cross that finish line in honor of their stroke and heart heroes.”
“WMUR is proud to stand alongside our fellow Hearst Television New England stations in supporting Tedy's Team and their vital mission,” said Andrew Vrees, WMUR's president and general manager, in a news release. “This initiative goes beyond broadcasting — it's about making a real impact in the lives of those affected by stroke and heart disease. We are honored to share these powerful stories and help spread awareness throughout New Hampshire and beyond.”
To donate in support of Tedy's Team, visit WMUR's website. The fundraising goal is set at $50,000. Every donation will help Tedy's Team provide educational awareness of the signs and symptoms of heart disease and stroke, advance life-saving research, and support stroke survivors.
In addition to participating in the Boston Marathon, Hearst Television New England stations will collaborate in simulcasting WCVB Boston's exclusive live coverage of the Boston Marathon.
