Mary McManus
Mary McManus, motivational speaker, critically acclaimed author and poet, 2009 Boston Marathon finisher, polio and trauma survivor/thriver has a remarkable story of resilience, healing, hope and possibilities. Every day is a celebration of life for Mary who refused to take the diagnosis of Post-Polio Syndrome sitting down. Her pen became her divining rod for healing harnessing the power of the mind/body connection through poetry. She embarked on a journey that took her from taking a leap of faith, leaving behind her award-winning career as a VA social worker, to the finish line of the 2009 Boston Marathon, and many adventures as a woman transformed through the sport of running. Mary has wowed audiences with her powerful message of healing, hope and infinite possibilities. She was recently featured on the Optimism Institute's Blue Sky podcast, the Proud to BU podcast highlighting distinguished BU alumni, was featured on Boston’s Channel 7 after her inspiring Boston Marathon run, many podcasts and radio shows, and featured in best-selling author Dr. David Hamilton’s book, “The Tenth Anniversary Edition of How Your Mind Can Heal Your Body.”
