Surmounting the odds

Wednesday, February 24, 2010

By Christie Koriakin

Jackson Hole, Wyo.-Lori Schneider is the first person in the world with multiple sclerosis to climb Mount Everest and conquer the Seven Summits. An achievement all on its own, which only the most skilled mountaineers have accomplished, the feat takes on new meaning against the backdrop of the debilitating disease.

A presentation of Teton Wellness Institute and Womentum, Schneider will tell the inspiring story of moving beyond her diagnosis to climb the highest mountain on each continent. Read more about Schneider in Living Well, page 25. 

Empowerment through Adventure: Climbing Beyond Our Limits will take place, 7 p.m., Tuesday, at the Center Theater. Free.
