Though the current Miss Minnesota has been strongly promoting the cause of Juvenile Arthritis, it is actually a cause I've been familiar with and have supported in the past.
A very good pageant friend of mine, Nicole Doyle, has suffered with the disease her entire life. Bringing awareness to the cause and raising funds have been some of her passions. It is a very devastating disease, and I've learned so much about it through her and her mom.
I actually had Nicole give a short talk about Juvenile Arthritis at one of the talent shows I put on.
Nicole has also organized Juvenile Arthritis Walk teams in the past, and I was invited to be on her fundraising/walk team in 2015. Below is a photo from that event.
