Stephanie Decker, Double Amputee and Acclaimed Motivational Speaker, to Take the Stage at EXIT Realty’s 2019 Annual Convention

EXIT Realty Corp. International is proud to present a stellar lineup of featured speakers at its 2019 Annual Convention.

In March of 2012, a tornado ripped through the town of Henryville, Indiana. Stephanie Decker, a 37-year-old mother of three, found herself in a life-altering moment. As her house began to disintegrate around her, she shielded her two young children with her body. Her dream home fell in, crushing her legs, but because of her heroic actions, her children were amazingly unscathed. It was a miracle that she even survived and made it to the hospital. At that point, doctors determined that parts of both legs would need to be amputated.

Since the accident, Decker has become a true symbol of survival and overcoming adversity. She has been featured on The Today Show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, ABC World News Tonight as “Person of the Week”, USA Today, USA Weekend, and People Magazine. She has used her story to bring awareness for the Stephanie Decker Foundation, which supports two major areas:

  1. Children with prosthetics: Decker is passionate about children and sports. She has made it a mission to help children with prosthetics enjoy sports and the same athletic opportunities as others.
  2. Accessibility to leading-edge prosthetic products: Decker considers herself fortunate to have access to the latest high-tech prosthetics. However, since many people are not as fortunate, she has set out to help them receive access to cutting-edge technology, which will help them with their mobility.

EXIT Realty’s 2019 Annual Convention will be held at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville, Tennessee, from October 22nd to 25th. EXIT Realty Associates can register through the Resource Center.
