Last weekend I attended a really special event for Kelley Kalafatich is a world class white water rafter who doubled for Meryl Streep on class 5 rapids in “The River WIld”. Two years ago she developed transverse myelitis, a debilitating condition that paralyzed her from the waist down. My neighbor Tiffini Gomes put on a fundraiser on at Howard Penns Sierra Nevada House with local music food and drinks. It was nice to see Kelley smiling from her wheelchair and she is a real inspiration for us all. That event wasn’t the biggest event but it was effective. People were educated about her problem, everyone was motivated and the networking and community made it a success. Take a look at this video and if you feel so donate to her fund.
