It was such an incredible journey to get to the stage of Mrs. PA. WHEW! I had so many friend and family members supporting me and that is what made it truly memorable. I feel so blessed to be given this opportunity and I certainly do not want to disappoint. My year of service will be focused on advocating for the Mrs. PA/NJ United States pageant and also raising awareness and fundraising for cancer worthy causes.
I lost my Dad to cancer almost 18 years ago. Hard to believe it has been that long. He still appears in my dreams, I can still hear his voice, and sometimes I even think I see him. It feels strange. The loss of a parent is traumatic but I have found some solace by putting my energy into charities that wholeheartedly want to eradicate cancer. It's an awful disease and incredibly painful to watch a loved one endure their final days in this manner. I hope and pray we find a cure and soon.
