StyleWeek Providence held an amazing fundraiser featuring heart survivors, including me!  We were each paired with a local designer, and I was lucky to have an old friend, Joe Segal, as my designer.  We had a wonderful time, from the beginning ideas to the final product on the runway.  It was a great experience!!

The 2009 Boston Heart Ball was truly a breathtaking evening.  The American Heart Association out-did itself in the decor, food, music, and theme of this amazing event to fundraise for prevention of the number one killer of all Americans: heart disease.  Great job, AHA, on a wonderful night!!

Another outstanding Family Fun Night for Hearts at Play!

The event was held at Mass Premier Courts in Foxboro, MA, and featured a whirlwind of fun and exciting family activities that raised money for a great cause!  Hearts at Play is a culmination of the Lea family, the Grace Alice Campbell Foundation, and the outstanding work of many families and volunteers who are committed to fundraising to help children with congenital heart defects.  I had the honor of singing the national anthem, speaking on the importance of AEDs, and helping to present AEDs to the Mansfield Youth Soccer and Baseball Leagues….not to mention do some facepainting!

I just want to thank my amazing family and friends for their support at my fundraiser!  I’m certainly a lucky lady…

You have all played a huge role in helping me to this point in my life, and I hope to make all of you proud as I take the stage November 22nd and 23rd in Quincy for the title of Miss Massachusetts USA.  Thank you all again!!!
