Challenge to Triumph
Jason Graham to Receive Inspiration Award on 10-10-10 in Denver!
Spotlight Shines on Invisible Disabilities Champions
Colorado-based Invisible Disabilities Association honors Jason Graham at third annual awards banquet in Lone Tree, Colo., Oct. 10, 2010.
PARKER, Colo.—September 30, 2010—.The Invisible Disabilities Association (IDA) will present Jason Graham of The Daniel Graham Foundation with its Inspiration Award. This award recognizes volunteerism while living each day with the personal struggle of chronic illness. Jason is the brother of Denver Bronco Daniel Graham and volunteers with his foundation. Jason is also employed full-time at Douglas County-based business internet and data provider tw telecom.
“It is an honor to be recognized and appreciated by the Invisible Disabilities Association,” said Jason, who underwent brain surgery for a pituitary tumor in 2003 and a kidney transplant in 2006. He is now searching for a donor to receive a second kidney transplant. “By telling my own story, I hope to bring greater awareness to those with chronic medical conditions and encourage others who find themselves in similar situations.”
Millions of Americans have unseen, life-altering and often painful medical conditions, such as diabetes, cancer, lupus, and fibromyalgia. In addition to enduring chronic pain and facing the physical challenges of their diseases, many people with “invisible disabilities” also face misunderstanding, critical judgments, and discrimination from people who don’t understand their medical conditions.
....The annual awards banquet is an opportunity to raise awareness and funds, and honor individuals and organizations making positive contributions to understanding and treating invisible disabilities. This year’s keynote speaker is former New York Mets catcher Ed Hearn, who is receiving IDA’s Perseverance Award in recognition of his battle with multiple life-threatening health conditions.
