This summer we will be coming up on the 1.5 year mark into the pandemic, and as we see cases coming down and feel hope on the horizon, I’d like to invite you to help celebrate those who fought on the front lines through some of the toughest conditions ever seen: our healthcare heroes.

As a pulmonologist, I worked side-by-side with nurses, doctors, respiratory therapists in the ICU taking care of some of the sickest patients I have seen in a long time, both at my hospital and around the country, and I witnessed sheer dedication to their calling, and also witnessed the toll it took on many of us.

One of the issues we are bringing to the forefront now is that of healthcare worker wellness, and with this campaign I’m inviting you to do something for your health, and the health of our healthcare worker colleagues.

Through June 12, we have a store set up for you to buy some pretty sweet athletic gear. The design is based on angel wing murals seen all over the world during the pandemic, with a heart calling to love for one another and the pulse of medicine. And the logo on the clothing is that of the Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes’ Foundation, an organization dedicated to supporting the mental health and wellness of our healthcare workers. Our partner, Panache Cyclewear, maker of high quality active clothing, will donate the profits from every jersey sold to this organization, helping in their work such as their advocacy effort in Washington DC with the bipartisan Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes’ Act and more.

So please go to the store, buy yourself some gear, share it with your friends, and…

Finally, here is the clincher, join me in this race.

After you get your gear, I’m asking you to choose your epic and wear it this summer, snap a selfie and tag it with #Racing4Heroes and the Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes’ Foundation on whatever social media platforms you engage. Imagine these kits on the backs of runners, cyclists, and people (check out the hoodie!), all over the country, showing support for healthcare heroes as each person is expressing themselves in their activity, engaged in improving their own wellness! Sounds like a whole lot of positive vibes to me.

So please join me in getting your gear today. It will be delivered in mid July, and we’ll be out there in July/August racing 4 heroes.
