Mrs. Illinois International 2009

Go Red Day started very early in the morning on Friday, February 6th. Christine Boll, Miss Illinois International 2009 and I met at the Chicago NBC station before 6am.

We were able to meet some very amazing women, Elizabeth and Helen -- both survivors of heart disease -- that share their amazing stories with others in hopes to help prevent women from ignoring the signs of heart problems. 

We also were able to get pictures with two members of the NBC5 News Team. On the left is Rob Elgas and on the right is Andy Avalos.

I was also able to give a donation to the American Heart Association from the fundraiser I held in January.
