Murphy�s Don�t Quit

Please join the WWT LEAD & ABLE ERGs, and our security partner Arctic Wolf as we celebrate Mother's Day with "Murphy's Don't Quit", a dynamic mother-daughter speaking duo! On the morning of April 19, 2013, while out for a typical morning run, Lauren was hit by a car and suffered a severe Traumatic Brain Injury. Lauren was admitted to Cedars- Sinai Hospital in West Hollywood and remained in extremely critical condition for several weeks. Lauren had lived in New York at the time of the accident and was in LA on business. She did not have ID on her and remained a Jane Doe for several hours. Thankfully, Lauren has never been typical and she has spent the last 9 plus years proving all of the experts wrong. Her recovery has been far from easy, she has traveled all over the US working with specialists. She works extremely hard and continues to fight to regain as much of her former life as possible. Lauren has become the embodiment of the Murphy mantra, "Murphys Don't Quit".

What to expect:

Colleen and Lauren will share their story, as well as 5 key lessons learned on their journey:

Show Up
Find your cheerleader
Kindness is free
Work Hard
Never give up
