Gratitude in Motion

On a picturesque fall day in Connecticut, Colleen Kelly Alexander, a dedicated athlete, experienced a life-altering accident when she was struck by a truck while biking home from work. Despite sustaining severe injuries that required five weeks in a coma and multiple surgeries, Colleen's indomitable spirit led her to transform her trauma into motivation. Determined to honor the everyday heroes who saved her, she set out to run again, eventually completing fifty races and forty triathlons, including four half-Ironman events. Now, as a spokesperson for the Red Cross, she shares her compelling journey to inspire others to take their own courageous steps forward.
