West Boylston man awarded Community MVP 2009 from New England Patriots at a special Luncheon on May 28th 2009 at Gillette Stadium.
His organization provides innovative programming, support and rehabilitation services to creative people (and their families) who've been affected by alcoholism, addiction, and psychiatric issues.
Brown has raised over $15k for Right Turn through his participation Ironman Triathlons nationwide. On June 21st, beginning with Ironman Coeur d'Alene, he will continue his journey of completing 6 Ironmans within one year. An Ironman is a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike and a 26.2 mile marathon. The goal is to raise over $100k for Right Turn. Please visit: www.right-turn.org where you can make a donation in his name or go to www.januscharitychallenge.com, do an athlete search for Kevin Brown and enter your donation there as well.
The Community MVP recipients were congratulated by NFL Hall of Famers Andre Tippett (#56), John Hannah (#73) and Patriots Quarterback Tom Brady. Mr. Brown is honored to be a part of such a great group of people and it will inspire him as he continues his Ironman journey in 2009. At age 49, Brown, a 4 time Ironman Finisher, will attempt 5 more this year, completing all six World Triathlon Corp, Ironman races in the US within one year. He remains inspired by people like Woody who are modern day miracle workers who help every person that walks through their doors. Simply helping one person affects so many other people and their families. Giessmann wants to make sure those doors remain open to assist anyone directly affected by the illness of addiction or their families. Unfortunately, the fact is that all of us in one way or another are affected by this disease. Brown is in his 24th year of recovery and welcomes the opportunity to share that part of his life. He remembers 24 years ago he was an empty shell of a man who thought this world might be better off without him. Right Turn and some five other charities he currently helps are pretty happy that he stuck around.
Brown believes the most important thing anyone of us can do in this world is to give back and that the Kraft family exemplifies that belief. He understands that Life is Nutz for many of us right now and in fact owns a company called Life is Nutz. He hopes that his example however small or large it becomes will show others that anything is possible. Be What You Are, share what you have, and rewards will happen.
Brown lives in West Boylston with his wife Jennifer and has 4 children Tana, Erik, Joshua and Toni. “I have been blessed to have a life second to none and am grateful to have an opportunity to serve my community.”
