The 2017 Joint Luncheon of the Lakewood & Rocky River Chambers of Commerce is sponsored by Cox Business. 

Speaker: Paralympic Medalist Mallory Weggemann

Everything Happens For A Reason
Mallory will discuss the day in which she became paralyzed back in January of 2008, and her initial struggles to cope with the fact that everything she knew for nearly 19 years of her life changed in literally the blink of an eye. After months of self-reflection Mallory slowly started to find her own answers to her number one question, why? It slowly became very evident to her that everything happens for a reason and she will share this very raw emotional journey by sharing her personal journals throughout her journey. Mallory’s challenges everyone to realize their own journey and insists that no odds are too large to overcome.
