Keri Olson Contributing Writer
Since Keri Olson was 29 years old, her life has been punctuated by life-threatening and life-altering illnesses, including two breast cancers, a melanoma and two benign tumors, one in her brain and another in her thoracic spine, which caused paralysis from above her waist down and required her having to learn how to walk again. While illness does not define her, it has revealed invaluable lessons that Olson has incorporated into her everyday living, her life’s philosophy, her writings and her speaking engagements. A longtime public relations and fundraising professional, Olson has dedicated the past three years to helping organizations assess, re-direct and revitalize. She lives in Baraboo, Wisconsin with her husband Larry McCoy, her favorite walking partner.
