Wendy Booker Biography

Wendy Booker is an adventurer, author, motivational speaker, and patient advocate known for her work in the multiple sclerosis (MS) community. Following a diagnosis of relapsing-remitting MS, Booker began running the Boston Marathon for the MS Society, which marked the start of her journey as what she describes as an accidental athlete.

Booker expanded her pursuits to mountaineering, reaching the summit of Denali (Mt. McKinley, Alaska) at age 50. She became the first person with MS to climb six of the Seven Summits, which are the highest peaks on each continent. Her achievements include summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa, Mt. Elbrus in Russia, Mt. Aconcagua in Argentina, Mt. Vinson Massif in Antarctica, Mt. Kosciuszko in Australia, and Denali in Alaska. After two attempts on Everest were halted by altitude challenges, Booker became the first person with MS to reach the North Pole and subsequently the South Pole.

Booker is the founder and CEO of MS Insight and serves as a national ambassador for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. She has extensive experience in patient advocacy, community engagement, marketing communications, media, events, and public affairs within the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. Booker also established The Other Side of Everest Educational Foundation, which uses the Seven Summits as a curriculum-based program to inspire young people in reading, math, writing, and global responsibility.

Booker authored the autobiography "New Altitude: Beyond Tough Times to the Top of the World," which details her experiences overcoming adversity and pursuing adventure. She continues to engage in new challenges, including training with sled dogs in Alaska with the goal of participating in the Iditarod. Booker delivers keynote presentations at corporate conferences, schools, universities, and athletic events, focusing on overcoming obstacles, self-discovery, and resilience in the face of chronic illness.
