Not even Multiple Sclorsis can stop me…
The Colorado-Wyoming Chapter of the National MS Society hosted an exceptional luncheon at the Westin Downtown hotel on Thursday, September 15, 2016.
The annual event was presented by EKS&H with the goal to raise awareness and funds in order to provide services and support for the 100,000 people in Colorado and Wyoming affected by multiple sclerosis.
Guest speaker Connie Carpenter-Phinney, winner of the first ever women’s Olympic cycling road race in Summer 1984, shares her inspirational story of triumph as an Olympic athlete and national champion. Wife of world renown cycling champion Davis Phinney and mother of two, she understands first-hand the adversity of chronic illnesses and challenges of caregiving and renewed hope. She is an active board member of the Davis Phinney Foundation for Parkinson’s in Boulder.
Mary Rhinehart, CEO of Johns-Manville, was recognized with the 2016 MS Spirit Award by Novartis.
