Children’s Miracle Network Donation

I'm pleased to announce that in 2019, I will be running for a title through the Miss America Organization. One of the exciting opportunities this organization offers is the chance to raise funds for local children's hospitals through Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. The money I raise will help save children's lives, and a portion will also go to support the Miss America Scholarship Fund. I want to give the perspective and empowerment to other patients like myself through Miss America Organization, to remind them that they can do anything. Please join me on my journey from Patient to Pageant!
