National Association of Professional Women Announces Nanci Rainey, Author and Fundraiser, as a 2014 Professional Woman of the Year
Garden City, NY (PRWEB) March 25, 2014 -- NAPW honors Nanci Rainey, author and fundraiser as a 2014 Professional Woman of the Year. Ms. Rainey is recognized with this prestigious distinction for her leadership. As the largest, most-recognized organization of women in the country, spanning virtually every industry and profession, the National Association of Professional Women is a powerfully vibrant networking community with over 600,000 members and nearly 400 Local Chapters.
Ms. Rainey is an extraordinary and multi-faceted woman, born with a gift for writing and business. When her children were small she contributed to the family income by typing from home. By the time they reached college age, Ms. Rainey found a successful career managing a law firm, but a spinal cord injury incurred during a surgical procedure would interrupt her peaceful and contented life. Months of rehabilitation offered her the opportunity to record her experience in hopes of being helpful to others suffering a similar fate. A published author, her latest book, Believe in a Way Back, chronicles her valiant journey.
Ms. Rainey’s first book, "Just One More Day in the Driver’s Seat," is a touching and heartbreaking story that details her son Billy’s 23-month ordeal with Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor (DSRCT ), a rare form of cancer. In it she records his many symptoms, surgeries and sufferings. "Just One More Day" is told from a loving mother’s perspective. It is her hope that this book will help others cope with the devastating the loss of a child.
It is Ms. Rainey’s mission to bring DSRCT awareness to physicians as well as to the general public in the promise of early diagnosis.
