Karen Newman struggled with eating disorders for decades, even while working as a professional dietitian and competing as a record-breaking triathlete with Team USA. She describes herself as at rock bottom with her addiction and disorder when, at age 46, a cancer diagnosis ended up saving her life. She kept training and racing through grueling cancer treatments while promising her family that she would keep fighting. Both in racing and in her life, she's overcome extraordinary adversity to reach a place of triumph and transformation, and now she loves sharing her inspiring story with others. Brought to you by The RehabGYM, Northfield Savings Bank, and the Friends of the Library. Light refreshments and a book signing follow the talk.
