CMN Torch Relay

 On November 12, 2011, I had the privilege of being a part of the 5K walk for the Torch Relay for the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. This event is for participants to walk or bike ride to raise money for the local Children's Hospital.  The 2011 Torch Relay's 27 city tour began in Chicago, Illinois on Saturday, November 12, 2011 in Orlando, Florida. I felt so honored to share the day with Miss America Teresa Scanlan; Miss America's Outstanding Teen Elizabeth Fechtel; and Miss Florida Kristina Janolo. We had a great time meeting and taking photos with the participants of the day's events.
