veterans! » On February 21st, Mission43’s 43INC and Challenged
Athletes Foundation-Idaho will present our next speaker-panel series
with Kirstie Ennis: U.S. Marine Sergeant (retired), wounded warrior,
athlete, humanitarian, and inspirational role-model. When Kirstie’s
helicopter crashed in Afghanistan, she underwent more than 40
surgeries and had to have her leg amputated; but the former Marine Sgt
took that as an opportunity to write a new arc in her story and has
since accomplished more at the age of 28 on one leg than she
could’ve ever imagined. She has turned the concept of “disabled
athlete” on its head, proving how capable she is, competing in
Boardercross, banking Slalom as a paralympic snowboarder, and
summiting Mt Kilimanjaro to support the non-profit The Waterboys. Her
list of mountaineering accomplishments also includes climbing
Carstenzs, the highest point in Oceania, for The Heroes Project and
conquering Illiniza Norte, a 16,818-foot peak in Ecuador. She hopes to
complete the Seven Summits by climbing the highest peak on every
continent before 2022. In addition to being an extreme
challenged-athlete, Ennis has completed three master’s degrees
(human behavior, business administration, and public administration)
and is currently working to complete her doctorate in education. She
has worked as a stuntwoman in Hollywood, motivational speaker,
entrepreneur and businesswoman who launched a t-shirt apparel company
(HeadCase), and recently earned her license as a real estate broker in
Aspen, Colorado. Kirstie is as fascinating as they come and we’re
barely scratching the surface in describing her. We invite you to join
Mission43’s 43INC and CAF-Idaho in experiencing her inspiration on
February 21st at the Warhawk Air Museum in Nampa. Doors open at 5:30pm
and we are expecting a capacity crowd, so register sooner than later!
