Maria Papalia-Meier is a fighter. Maria may have been KO’d, and down for the count, but she proved them wrong. Her book, titled, I am a Runner is about surviving sepsis, a coma, and amputation. Maria has a BBA with an emphasis in Human Resources, and has worked for Fed-Ex for twenty years. As an athlete she has many accomplishments. Before her battle with the river of death she competed and ran in multiple 5K’s.

She was told she’d never run again. She proved the naysayers wrong. Her athletic accomplishments include running in a 5K, and a 1/2 Marathon. I am a Runner – the Memoirs of a Sepsis Survivor is available in print and e-book.
