Making A Difference: Kim Virden
There are several clubs around Madison for sports enthusiasts. But, for people living with a disability they have very few options. We had a couple people nominate Kim Virden.
Kim is very modest.
Sheri Mauerman wrote this about Kim. "She is instrumental in getting our group involved with charity walks/runs that benefit many in our community."
Two years ago, Kim connected with a worldwide organization whose mission is something Kim lived through years ago after a skiing accident. Kim never thought she would ski again, but 13 years after the accident, she was back out on the slopes.
Kim plans to take some from the group to new york later this month for a five mile run/walk called hope and possibility race. In 1996, she was honored to carry the olympic torch.
In this week's People Making A Difference segment Mitch Weber introduces us to a woman who has made it possible for people living with disabilities to participate in sports.
Info on Achilles is on our website under links.
Mitch is always looking for people making a difference. To nominate someone go back to our home page and click on the People Making A Difference banner.
