Colleen Kelly Alexander: Gratitude in Motion - In 2011, Colleen Alexander was run over by a freight truck. After five weeks in a coma and 29 surgeries, she survived. Rather than let the trauma and PTSD control her life, Colleen became determined to find a way to make something positive from her pain. A lifelong athlete, she decided she’d run again and dedicate her race medals to the everyday heroes around us, including the medical staff and blood donors who saved her life. Since then, Colleen has run 50 races and completed 40 triathlons, including four half-Ironman events. She shares her inspirational story to encourage others to take that first step forward. Colleen is the author of the book, Gratitude in Motion: A True Story of Hope, Determination, and the Everyday Heroes Around Us.
