Personal bio:
Bayfield area resident Lori Schneider developed a bad case of wanderlust when she was 15 years old. She traveled to the corners of the earth in search of unique cultures, people, and challenging experiences.
Lori graduated from an all-women’s college in 1978 and began a twenty-year teaching career, working with special education children, as well as kindergarten and first grade students.
In 1999, at the age of forty-three, Lori developed something else. She awoke one morning with numbness in over 50% of her body. Within two months, it had spread throughout her entire body. The doctors uttered two little letters from an alphabet she had recited so many times - MS.
When the crippling shock of the Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis wore off, Lori decided to accelerate her love of travel and mountains, and set out to climb the highest peak on each continent.
With the highest peaks in Africa, Europe, South America, North America, Australia, Antarctica, and Asia under her belt, LORI BECAME THE FIRST PERSON IN THE WORLD WITH MS (MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS) TO CLIMB MT. EVEREST AND CONQUER THE SEVEN SUMMITS.
Lori’s message to adults and children alike, reminds us that if we believe, we can achieve.
