The National Association of Floor Covering Distributors (NAFCD) will feature legendary American athlete Rocky Bleier as a keynote presenter at the NAFCD 32nd Annual Meeting, "Leaders Meeting Leaders," Oct. 17-20, 2003, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Told he would never walk again after being wounded in Vietnam, Bleier went on to become a premier running back and member of the four-time Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers. Bleier is active in organizations such as the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and the International Special Olympics. His story is the subject of the book and feature film, Fighting Back.
