Central Connecticut State University, Constitution Room/Memorial Hall, 1615 Stanley Street, New Britain, CT. Doors open at 5:30 for networking and silent auction  Featured Speaker: Colleen Kelly Alexander Marking the launch of our new Share the Road campaign, this year's featured speaker is our own remarkable Colleen Kelly Alexander. After undergoing brain surgery in 2007 for a chiari malformation, Colleen overcame a lupus and cryoglobulinemia diagnosis in 2009, pushing forward to become a successful, competitive triathlete. In 2011, while on a routine bike ride, she was run over by a freight truck. Crushed, ripped apart and bleeding out, she flatlined twice, spent five weeks in a coma and has since endured over twenty surgeries. Defying diagnoses, dire predictions and death, Colleen stunned doctors by bucking the odds and coming back to run more than 50 races and complete 15 triathlons, including 4 half Ironman events since her trauma. Colleen and husband Sean Alexander were elected to the Bike Walk CT board of directors in 2015. Purchase tickets. New this Year! People's Choice Awards!
