Shannon Miller is an icon who represents the heart and soul of women’s gymnastics. Her graceful style and balletic moves set her apart from other female gymnasts during the U.S. Olympics in the 1990’s. When Shannon was 9 years old she spent two weeks in Russia at gymnastic camp and it was during that trip that she became passionate about the sport. Shannon has been a role model for women across a broad spectrum for two decades. Her series of life-style books from nutrition to yoga are available on Amazon.
Jim Marshall, the “Ironman of Football” spent 20 years in the NFL during the glory days of the Minnesota Vikings. He has had a varied career after football which has always included reaching out to others. Jim currently is a spokesman for Gridiron Greats who helped him through a series of back operations. He can’t sing the praises of the Laser Spine Institute and Gridiron Greats enough for taking care of his medical needs. The Laser Spine Institute performed several procedures on Jim’s back that have enabled him to lead a “normal” life—after years of disability. Gridiron Greats is a non-profit organization that is making a huge difference in the lives of former NFL players without medical coverage. www.GridironGreats.com
