GREENS+® Sponsors Natural Florida Bodybuilding Championships
Our own GREENS+® lady, Lani Deauville, hosted the 1998 natural Florida Bodybuilding Championship recently held in Vero Beach, Florida.
Lani is the Treasurer and Vice-President of Orange Peel Enterprises, Inc. as well as wife of the President/CEO, Jude Deauville and mother of 12 year old son Ryan.
A quadriplegic since age seventeen when her spinal cord was injured in a diving accident, Lani has many achievements to her credit. After her accident, she worked to receive her High School Diploma, an Associates Degree from Daytona Junior College, and a Bachelor of Science, Psychology from University of South Florida. She went on to complete four years of study at University of Alabama, and only a severe illness prevented her from doing the necessary dissertation to receive her doctorate. When money was no longer available from the Florida State Rehabilitation Agency, Lani worked at several jobs to support herself.
Lani was highly instrumental in getting the nationwide legislation enacted that provides accessibility for disabled persons who use wheelchairs. She was the first female and first disabled person to become Director of the Florida State Vocational Rehabilitation Agency. In 1976, President Gerald Ford invited Lani to the White House and name her, "Disabled Employee of the Year."
There is so much, much more to the Lani Deauville story. Our readers are encouraged to read "The Power of Superfoods," by Lani's brother-in-law Sam Graci.
Sam formulated and developed GREENS+® to rebuild Lani's immune system, end her chronic pain, reduce her bladder infections, restore her energy and allow her bowel movements to return naturally. Lani, herself, will tell you that none of this would have been possible without GREENS+®.
She hosted the bodybuilding show as a way of celebrating her forty years as a quadriplegic. Lani says that wheelchairs don't confine, they liberate. If one can't get from point A to point B. that's confinement. Lani's involvement and the generosity of many brought in over $7,000 in donations for the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis. |
