Denna Laing is awesome, guys.
A horrifying spinal chord injury leaving her quadriplegic in her first pro season, Laing has since adjusted to life post-hockey, having become an advocate to those in the same situation she’s been in since her injury, and today was no different as she was accompanied by Beverly native Bobby Carpenter in a team effort to finish the Marathon for Journey Forward, a non-profit group dedicated to helping better the lives of those who’ve suffered severe spinal chord injuries
Congratulations to former NHL star Bobby Carpenter and NWHL player Denna Laing on completing this year’s race in 4:32:30!
