alumni news Brady Murray to Ride for Down Syndrome Orphans in IronMan Race Brady Murray, a Huntsman alumnus, has won the right to race in the IronMan World Championship competition in Kona, Hawaii, on October 13, 2012. He was inspired to enter by reading stories on “Reece’s Rainbow,” a nonprofit website that champions Down syndrome children who have been abandoned. Brady has a five-year-old son, Nash, who has Down syndrome. Brady and Nash created a 90-second video that they entered in the Ironman “Kona Inspired” competition. Of more than 100 videos submitted, theirs earned the most votes, and Brady got the invitation he wanted. Brady is riding to bring attention and funds to help these orphans. Particularly, he is riding to help a little girl named Maggie who lives thousands of miles away in Eastern Europe. Maggie is an orphan with Down syndrome, and the funds will go toward her adoption. More about his quest to raise awareness and help out orphaned children with Down syndrome can be read at www.rodsracing.org. You can also go to reecesrainbow.org for more information. Nash and Brady

Steven E. Snow, ’74, accounting, said, “It is a privilege to serve,” when he was invited by President Obama to join the President’s Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships for one year. The council will find ways that government and charitable organizations can work together to better help those in need. “I also believe we all have a responsibility to engage in civic and community service,” he continued. Elder Snow already serves as the historian, recorder, and Church History
Department executive director for the LDS Church. “We will prepare a report to the President on matters where faith-based communities and other charitable organizations can cooperate with government in working on social problems,” he said. “Our first topic of study is human trafficking.” Elder Snow was recognized with a Professional Achievement Award by the Huntsman School of Business in March 2011.
