Women living with MS competes in Ironman Lake Placid

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

Jenny Hopkins is racing Ironman Lake Placid this weekend – July 26th, 2009 – and hopes to be the first person living with MS to finish an Ironman.  It will also make her the second women living with Myasthenia Gravis to complete the gruelling 3.8K swim, 180K bike and 42.2K run.  She truly is an INSPIRATION!!

Not only is she racing the Ironman, she is raising money for Multiple Sclerosis – please visit her site at http://my.e2rm.com/personalPage.aspx?registrationID=636663&langPref=en-CA to learn more about Jenny and also make a donation to her campaign.

You can follow her progress on Sunday at www.ironmanusa.com/ or www.ironmanlive.com.

Best of Luck Jenny – we know you will make it!!!
