A Reunion Weekend to Inspire: Andrea Peet’s Brave Journey and Lessons Learned

Davidson College is hosting reunions this weekend and Andrea Lytle Peet ’03 will reunite with classmates at her 20th. Last year, Peet became the first person with ALS to complete a marathon in all 50 American states. Her journey inspired the recent documentary Go On, Be Brave. She has also written a book, Hope Fights Back. She and Professor Ken Menkhaus, who’s also fighting ALS, will lead a discussion about advocacy, and finding purpose and meaning in the face of serious illness.
