Wendy Booker

Wendy Booker launched MSInsight (Formerly The Climb On Foundation) in early 2015. Creating a clear pathway for all things MS for the newly diagnosed patient. A diagnosis of MS is fraught with fear, misinformation and isolation. Patients are often young just starting out on their adult lives. MSInsight is here to connect the patient to the many choices in the way of therapy options, neurologists, MS centers and most importantly connecting them to others of their same age and interests. MSInsight is here to guide the newly diagnosed through that first frightening year in order that they may live full and productive lives with and for MS.

Since 2006 Booker partnered with the Donald McKay School in East Boston to help raise money and awareness for the Sherpa children whose fathers were killed climbing the mountains in Nepal; and to educate American youth about mountain climbing, Nepalese culture, geography, religion and education.

As a motivational speaker, Booker travels the globe to share her story of determination, disappointment, transformation and triumph to audiences large and small. She does presentations, keynote addresses and emcees events.

Recent motivational speaking audiences include: American Heart Assoc. Harvard Business School, Boston College Students with Disabilities Council, National Bank of Kansas City, National Association of University and College Food Services, International Meeting Planners, Colorado’s Women’s Foundation, TransAmerica Financial, Silpada Jewelry National Convention, Lexia Learning System’s National Sales Conference, Mount Sinai Medical Center, Kiewit Oil’s National Convention, Women on the Move Luncheons around the country, Dinner of Champions and fundraisers for countless charities, organizations and hospitals.

In addition to her foundation, travel, and work as a motivational speaker, Booker published her first book "New Altitude" in 2013 which is about her passage through tough times to the top of the world.

In Booker’s words, “We often have to try a little harder, take a little longer and dig a little deeper to reach our goals but we can do it. We all have “our mountain” our mountain is MS, now what are we going to do about it? I challenge those with MS, or any challenge in their lives, to go out and find that special thing, that activity, that passion that will take them away from their MS, if only for a while, and from that they will see that anything is possible.”

“The view from the top is incredible!”
