CHAMPAIGN – For a moment, Jean Driscoll is on pause. But it won't last.
The retired Paralympic medalist and champion marathoner – who now works in the University of Illinois College of Applied Health Science – raced back from Beijing this week after serving as a U.S. delegate to the Paralympic Games. On Sunday, she will zip over to Washington, D.C., where she has been invited to a White House state dinner on Monday with the president of Ghana.
