Stephanie Spielman

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

I had the opportunity to hear Stephanie Spielman address the crowd at the Livestrong Summit last year.  There were many excellent speakers from around the country; she was the only speaker from Central Ohio - she gave an unbelievable talk that made me proud to be from the same state. She brought the house down. 
Unfortunately, I never had the honor of meeting Stephanie. However, I think all of us felt like we knew her. I will remember Stephanie for her unbelievable courage, her passion for life, her ability to make a difference, and her smile.
Stephanie - I am so proud of you.  You are a hero to all of us.
