Before I joined Best Buddies this past fall, the majority of my exposure to the Best Buddies program was from watching the Tom Brady ads about the Best Buddies challenge on TV. I knew the program was a great way to make new friends who I may otherwise may have had few opportunities to meet, and was fortunate enough to get involved through Umass Medical School. My buddy is an adventurous, enthusiastic, and tremendously compassionate guy, who has taught me many lessons far beyond what I could ever learn in medical school. Together we have had many exciting adventures, from hockey games, to bowling, and even taking the frosty Polar Plunge at Hampton Beach this February! In the past 9 months of knowing one another, we have already made many memories together, and I look forward to making many more.
