They are running for a charity that is incredibly meaningful to their family and to Tessa’s story.

On October 23, 2023, 15-year-old Tessa was being driven to water polo practice when she was involved in a serious automobile accident that left her with devastating damage to her right hand and wrist. She spent 35 days at Sharp Memorial Hospital in San Diego, where they worked to save her hand. The teams of doctors and nurses that treated her and helped her recover from 8 surgeries were outstanding. However, a significant portion of her healing was made possible by the specialized work done by the Integrative and Complementary Medicine Team. Through them, she received pastoral care, art therapy, dog therapy, reiki, massage, aromatherapy, and music therapy. These programs allowed staff to get to know her as a whole person and not just a patient, leading to deeper connections between Tessa and her care team.

Sharp Memorial’s Integrative Care team has been a beacon of hope for Tessa and her family. This team uses an approach to health care that addresses physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual, and environmental wellness.

They are excited and honored to raise money for this medical team that has been so integral in Tessa's continued recovery! Let's go team!
