Jog for Jeremy



On July 4th, at the beach with his family and friends, Jeremy Gelb, a recent graduate of the Ross School of Business (involved in both PSE and Theta Xi fraternities), dove into deceptively shallow water and suffered a broken back. He was airlifted to the trauma center in Stony Brook, diagnosed with an incomplete C-4 and C-5 spinal cord injury, and underwent an emergency 7 hour surgery. After weeks in the ICU, Jeremy underwent extensive treatment at a rehab facility.

While Jeremy is thankfully no longer in need of assistance, there are 5.4 million Americans -- nearly 1 in 50 people -- living with some form of paralysis. Under Jeremy's guidance, we have chosen to partner with the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation in their dedication to curing spinal cord injury by funding innovative research, and improving the quality of life for people living with paralysis through grants, information and advocacy.

Our chapter has raised over $5,000 for this great cause and had a lot of fun doing so! We loved getting the opportunity to give back in honor of one of our cherished alumni and raise money for a great cause.
