In 2005, I was chosen to receive the very coveted Inspiration Award from Hal O’Leary and the Colorado Rockies President, Keli McGregor. I was a very active and goal oriented person until I was “stopped in my tracks,” due to disabling chronic illness and pain from Multiple Sclerosis and Lyme Disease.
This recognition was very special to me, as I was the first with an invisible disability to receive this incredible award and was honored to share with the audience about those living with debilitating conditions.
