The Essential Race is supporting our Essential Workers who have gone through high levels of stress and trauma. From the Nurses who helped their patients say goodbyes to their families over zoom, to the Doctors who pushed themselves to the brink of exhaustion working non-stop, Covid has taken a toll on people emotionally as well as physically.\u00a0 All proceeds will help restore the mental health and well being of our Essential Workers.This includes CNAs, Nurses, Doctors, and Case Managers alike.\u00a0 All have gone above and beyond to keep us and our loved ones safe.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.firstlighthomecare.com\/home-healthcare-west-suburban-boston\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/07\/The-Essential-Race-Medal-and-T-Shirt-300x235.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"235\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2634 alignright\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>EARN $$$<\/strong>:\u00a0 Refer your friends!\u00a0 When you form a team of 6,<span>\u00a0<\/span><span><em>you<\/em><\/span><span>\u00a0<\/span>get to race for free!\u00a0 We challenge you get your friends (stay 6 feet apart), choose your race, and make a difference!<\/p>\n<p><strong>To register, please visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/runsignup.com\/Race\/CT\/Ridgefield\/TheEssentialRace\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Race website<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FirstLight Home Care of West Suburban Boston is joining the FirstLight Home Care offices in Connecticut and Westchester County, NY to sponsor The Essential Race, &#8220;a Virtual Race supporting the emotional health of our Heroes on the Medical Front.&#8221; The Race:\u00a0We are saying THANK YOU to our Essential Workers, but&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2627","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.firstlighthomecare.com\/home-healthcare-west-suburban-boston\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2627","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.firstlighthomecare.com\/home-healthcare-west-suburban-boston\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.firstlighthomecare.com\/home-healthcare-west-suburban-boston\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.firstlighthomecare.com\/home-healthcare-west-suburban-boston\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.firstlighthomecare.com\/home-healthcare-west-suburban-boston\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2627"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.firstlighthomecare.com\/home-healthcare-west-suburban-boston\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2627\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.firstlighthomecare.com\/home-healthcare-west-suburban-boston\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2627"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.firstlighthomecare.com\/home-healthcare-west-suburban-boston\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2627"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.firstlighthomecare.com\/home-healthcare-west-suburban-boston\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2627"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
