Our current Miss Brainerd Lakes is a diabetic and her platform is Beautifully Broken
Emily Wyman, 2008 Miss Brainerd Lakes was diagnosed at age 7 with Type 1 diabetes, which occurs when a cell causes the pancreas to stop producing insulin. Emily Wyman, who got her insulin pump when she was 12, plans to study nursing and eventually become a diabetes educator. Her platform for the Miss Minnesota Pageant this summer is diabetes and explaining that if it's under control it doesn't have to control you.

Great post. Thank you for the information.
Kathleen, it is great that this young lady has become a spokesperson for Diabetes and has not let it slow her down!
What a great event! Thanks for sharing.
William - In the Miss America system, all the young woman need to have a platform issue that they are passionate about and work on. It varies from charities to health issues to social issues.
Terry - I love to hear about town happenings in the other communities around our great nation. Brings us together.
Wendy - It looks like you know a few little girls who may just grow up and want to be Miss America.
Lara - Emily is a mentor to newly diagnosed children and they love her. They are afraid and confused and she can show them that diabetes can be lived with and lived well.
Debra - thanks for checking in and learning more about my hometown happenings.
Yes Kathleen, weren't they precious. Two of them are my daughters and one my niece. Thanks for the sweet comments.
