I am sooo excited because this week I received my buddy for the year for Muscle Team Boston. The Muscular Dystrophy Association is an organization that raises money with the goal to find treatments and cures for neuromuscular disease. This organization also provides healthcare, support and education to patient's and their families. I am so thrilled that our directors have chosen this as one of our main causes this year and that I have the honor of being a buddy and mentor to an adorable little girl.
I absolutely adore children and I am beyond excited that throughout my year as Miss Massachusetts I get to share my journey with a beautiful little girl and truly make an impact on her life. As a mentor I will be spending time with my buddy on a regular basis, keeping in touch with her through phone and email weekly and making sure she feels special and loved.
My buddy Emma is nine years old and loves Hannah Montana, Mac & Cheese and the Red Sox :) I can't wait to take her to a game this year!! I was so enthusiastic about getting to know Emma and was raving to Aaron about how adorable she was and I got him on the Bandwagon too! Aaron has decided to sponsor a child as well and from what I hear his little boy loves baseball, so it's a match made in heaven!
In January, Aaron and I will have the honor of attending the 2010 Muscle Team Boston Gala at the Fairmont here in Boston, where we will get to spend a wonderful evening with our buddies and their families. I am so excited!
