Conference Speaker

Missy Foy
Missy Foy
There are Olympic athletes and then there are Olympic ultra-athletes. Missy Foy is a true ultra-athlete. In 2000, she was the first person with diabetes to qualify for the U.S. Olympic marathon trials. She competes in marathons (26.2 mile), and 50-mile and 100-kilometer (62.5 mile) ultramarathons.

Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes 10 years ago, not long after she had started to run competitively, 41-year-old Missy is hitting her stride in an endurance sport that few of us can fathomÑand she does it while taking her diabetes for a ride, too. She not only overcomes her obstacles; she runs around, over and through them. Now, at the top of an elite field of athletes, she's poised to write even more history as the 2006 running season unfolds.

While Missy, a medical research associate at the Durham VA Medical Center, trains for the 2006 race schedule, she is also finishing her doctoral dissertation at the University of North Carolina-Greensboro; teaching; and making speaking engagements and visits to children's diabetes camps.

Missy will share her inspiring story and her belief that, "Even after being diagnosed with diabetes you can still move forward and dream big. Dream big, then dream bigger!"
