Kimmy Fasani's Winter Speaker Series
Kimmy Fasani, a professional snowboarder and survivor of stage three breast cancer, shares her profound connection to the outdoors and the ways it has shaped her resilience. A Truckee, Ca native who resides in Mammoth lakes with her husband Chris Benchetler will discuss how her personal life’s peaks and valleys—losing both parents to cancer, enduring childhood abuse, facing her own health battle, while balancing motherhood and her career—Kimmy has found the mountains to be both a sanctuary and a teacher.
