An evening wth Stacey Halprin

Imagine it’s Sept. 11, 2001, and you are living within 1.5 miles of Ground Zero in New York City.

Now imagine you weigh in excess of 500 pounds and can’t walk more than a few hundred feet at a time.

Stacey Halprin struggled to move her 550-pound body to her apartment window as the planes hit the World Trade Center. Watching in horror, she realized two things – her country was under attack, and her weight held her captive.

At that moment, with a sudden sense of awareness and clarity, Halprin made a promise to lose weight. Since Sept. 11, Halprin has lost more than 300 pounds and maintained her weight loss for nearly seven years.

On Thursday, Sept. 11, the anniversary of the day her life was changed forever, Stacey Halprin will share her story with an Indianapolis audience. St. Francis Spirit of Women proudly sponsors this very special event at the Scottish Rite Cathedral.
