So the crazy whirlwind continues and it's a great one! On Monday I had one of the most rewarding nights since being crowned! I was honored to be invited as a special guest to the 2010 Muscle Team Boston Muscular Dystrophy Gala at the Boston Fairmont. I attended with my wonderful directors Laurie and Anthony, as well as Aaron and Ashley who were special guests as well.
I had been looking forward to the event all weekend because I knew I would get to hangout with my buddy Emma and her amazing parents, as well as meet some more of the adorable children! The energy when we walked into the gorgeous ballroom for the meet and greet was so electric! The energy, spunk and smiles that these kids possess are just contagious and my little buddy Emma held my hand and escorted me around the room, introducing me to all of her friends, including her favorite friend the Boston Bruins mascot Blaze :)
I was so proud of Emma because at such a young age she is such an intelligent, confident, gracious little girl and she has done such an amazing job as an MDA Goodwill Ambassador. The truly rewarding thing about this event is that it works to raise money specifically to send the children of MDA to an amazing summer camp! In the end, we raised enough money to send 61 kids to camp this year and you could just see them all beaming with joy as the announcement was made that they would all be able to attend.
I had such a wonderful night and really enjoyed working together with other leaders and influential Bostonians, from Bruins and Red Sox to Celtics and Patriots, that night we all came together for one cause and that was these precious children! I am so proud of all of them and so touched by their love of life and look forward to being involved with the MDA Organization for many years to come!
Thank you to Kate Tighe, Jenny Hubbard and my amazing directors Laurie and Anthony for introducing me to such a special and worthwhile cause! Also, a special thank you to Stewart Smith for volunteering his time to come out and take pictures of all of us with our newfound buddies :) I encourage everyone to get involved with this organization, you won't regret it!
