Hey everyone!
Well this is my first official blog as Miss Three Rivers Festival! I've had my title for about a month now and am already underway with preparations for Miss Indiana next summer! This next week is a super exciting one for me with lots of different appearances coming up.
Tomorrow is finally the day for the March for Babies at Ball State University! I was born eight weeks premature and was not supposed to live the first week of my life. Therapies developed by the March of Dimes had a huge part in my survival which is why it is the personal platform I have chosen to support during my year of service. Because of that fact, I have planned a walk to benefit the March of Dimes and tomorrow is the day of the event! I have raised over $800 so far and can't wait to see what donations I receive at the walk tomorrow. If you would like to attend Sign-ups for the walk start at 3pm and the walk starts at 4pm from Gate 1 of Worthen Arena on the campus of BSU in Muncie, IN.
Not only is next week Thanksgiving, but I get to have the most wonderful Wednesday with my lovely director, Jenee. We will be visiting Parkview Hospital's NCIU to find ways for me to get more involved and also get to meet with the Three Rivers Festival board! I can't wait to get involved with the festival next summer :) Then I get to finish my day in Ft. Wayne at Northwood Middle School for the Aunt Alena's Hair Care Challenge. Can't think of a better way to start my Thanksgiving break.
Then I have a lovely four day break with my family for lots of great food and company before I have to come back and finish the last two weeks of the semester. Can't wait to fill you in on the results of my walk tomorrow!
