I had the pleasure of attending the Muscular Dystrophy Association Muscle Team Gala last night at the Fairmont Copley hotel and I am sure it will prove to be one of the highlights of my year as Miss Connecticut USA. So many professional athletes came together so that each child had a presenter and felt special that night. The real joy of this job is being able to support events like this where I was able to present a child for their night of honor. It was so much fun to meet the MDA buddies who are the sweetest kids you could ever want to meet. There was even one buddy who was a little girl addicted to sparkles just like me! The Miss Connecticut USA crown sure proved to be a big favorite to try on and take pictures with! This event marks just the start of my work with the MDA as I will have a child buddy thoughtout this year! Last night was exceptional because of the time spent with her and the other buddies. I have some great things we are going to do in the works for when the weather gets nicer so be sure to check for more updates!
