IHRSA celebrates the legacy of Julie Main by awarding the Julie Main Woman Leader Scholarship to a woman who exemplifies what Julie stood for: courage, perseverance, excellence, and professionalism. Patsy McLean, Director of Group Exercise for the Adelaide Club in Canada, is the winner of the 2014 Julie Main Woman Leader Scholarship.
Like Julie Main, Patsy also faced the adversity of a cancer diagnosis. Now a Melanoma survivor, she launched a Cancer Specific Exercise program at the Adelaide Club, and leads wellness seminars where she shares her message that life's challenges can be overcome through healthy living. In all aspects of her work, her warm, caring and motivating approach is helping more people to get active and live healthier, happier lives.
