Paralympic Athlete Amanda McGrory at SCCCC Breakfast
May 4 @ 07:30

Southern Chester County Chamber of Commerce to Host Annual Inspirational Breakfast May 4 at Hartefeld National Golf Club
Keynote Speaker is Award-winning Paralympic Athlete Amanda McGrory

Kennett Square, PA - The Southern Chester County Chamber of Commerce will hold its Annual Inspirational Breakfast Thursday, May 4, beginning at 7:30 am at Hartefeld National Golf Club. The keynote speaker is Amanda McGrory, award-winning wheelchair athlete who will present Go for the Gold: My Quest for Success, which shares her story and discovery of wheelchair athletics, and highlights from her award-winning athletic career that has taken her around the world.

The Inspirational Breakfast welcomes business and community leaders from across the region. The fee is $45 for Members and $55 for Non-Members. Visionary Tables are available for $375. To register, visit www.scccc.com.

The event includes a coffee reception at 7:30 am with Reception Sponsor, WSFS Bank, followed by a sit-down breakfast and program at 8:30 am. Special guests include Leon R. Spencer, the Chamber’s 2016 Outstanding Citizen of the Year, who will perform The National Anthem.

Southern Chester County native Amanda McGrory woke up one morning at the age of 5 and discovered she could no longer walk. After weeks of hospital visits and testing, doctors’ best diagnosis was Transverse Myelitis, with little hope of recovery. At age 7, McGrory attended a Variety Club of Philadelphia sleep away camp designed for kids with physical disabilities. That, combined with the later discovery of wheelchair sports, proved to be life-changing. McGrory graduated from Unionville High School with honors, and accepted an athletics scholarship to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign as a dual sport athlete to play wheelchair basketball and race as a member of track and road racing team. Since graduating with a BS in Psychology, she has traveled the world, and won seven Paralympic medals and more than 25 marathons. Currently, she is pursuing a master degree in Library and Information Science, with a focus on Archival Work from the University of Illinois. In addition, Amanda competed in the London Marathon on Sunday, April 23rd and she is in training for one final Paralympic Games in Tokyo 2020.
