Her Motto: “Live Victorious, Loved and Free”
May 03, 2017Posted by james
Karen Newsman is a world-class triathlete, dietitian, wife and mother of three boys. When the secrets of her eating disorders again controlled her and filled her with shame, she gravitated into a career as a registered dietitian with a master’s degree in clinical nutrition.
Soon after, she begged God to end it all. As she continued to battle the eating issues, Karen was diagnosed with advanced, aggressive, stage-3 breast cancer. Despite the diagnosis, she finished the World Triathlon Championships in Vancouver, British Columbia, just days after receiving her fourth chemotherapy treatment.
Karen went on to become a seven-time All-American Triathlete and Team USA World Competitor. She won a silver medal at the 2012 Triathlon Age Group World Championships in New Zealand. A year later, Karen won four gold medals and broke the Huntsman Senior Games World Triathlon record. She has become a triathlon coach, and she has educated and encouraged people in health matters and on the track. While facing grueling treatment for the cancer, Karen has inspired thousands, drawing more than 25,000 to her “caring” blog.
Karen has received the USA Triathlon’s Most Inspirational Comeback Award, the Connecticut Sportswriters Association’s Courage Award and she was named American Cancer Society’s Determination Champion for her tireless charitable contributions.
Karen still competes and she has found another career as a motivational speaker. Her mission is to inspire others to find opportunity through their own trials, and to help people realize that they are loved, worthy, vital and never too far away or two broken to be healed.
A remarkable athlete, wife, mother and career woman!
