This sweet little girl wanted a picture with the "Princesses"!
The Foundation for Fighting Blindness is our national platform for Mrs. America. Our new Mrs. America April Lufriu has been diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa as well as her children and her sister. She took up the cause and started a chapter in Florida to raise money to help find a cure and has now brought awareness of this to a National level! April is a shining example of how to use a title to make a difference.
The vision walks are held nationwide to help raise money and bring awareness. This was the first inaugural walk in Washington. $41,000 was raised by all the walkers and teams! Our team Mrs. Washington Pageant for a Cure was made up of myself, Mrs. Seattle, Mrs. Snohomish County, Mrs. Olympia, Mrs. Thurston County and Mrs. Washington 2009. I helped get the fun going by leading the group of walkers in a Zumba warm up! I also got the chance to share April's story and the connection we have with our Mrs. America Pageant. It was nice to be welcomed by the FFB staff and to feel their excitement of our participation.
