Last January, a crash involving members of the Holy Cross women’s rowing team left Hannah Strom of Marion with severe injuries, including a traumatic brain injury and hearing loss.
Now, less than a year later, Strom is not only back on her feet and preparing to head back to school, she also completed a one-mile run surrounded by those who helped her get to where she is today.
Strom completed her run over the weekend; a video from WCVB shows her being cheered on by members of the community. Some of her physical therapists, as well as coaches, ran alongside her.
