Tedy Bruschi & His Wife, Heidi Bomberger Bruschi

Heidi Bomberger met her husband, Tedy while attending the University of Arizona. The two tied the knot on June 27th, 1997.

In 2005, Bruschi was taken to a hospital with symptoms including temporary numbness, blurred vision, and headaches; Bruschi was diagnosed with a mild stroke.

At the time, Heidi undertook the role of the caregiver and has since been an outspoken advocate for stroke survivors and caregivers. It is important to Heidi to make sure everyone knows the warning signs and knows what to do in case of a stroke emergency. The couple created the Tedy’s Team, created to spread the word about the warning signs of strokes. Since 2005, it has raised more than $5 million to support the American Stroke Association, according to its website.
