When Spinal Champion and 2020 Chair of our We’ve Got Your Back Gala, Jennifer Marron, was diagnosed with scoliosis, she was told she’d need to wear a back brace for 23 hours a day. Our CEO, Dr. Rita Roy, sits down with Jennifer to discuss how, at 14 years old, Jennifer didn’t let scoliosis stop her dreams of competing in team sports. Little did she know she’d end up competing on a U.S. national team! As a special bonus, Rita and Jennifer discuss all things gala. Be sure to tune in to the virtual gala on Friday, November 6 at 7pm EST. Discover more about this free patient education celebration here and click here to browse our silent auction items today!
