The Children's Miracle Network Walk-a-Thon
Place: Hurley Hospital in Flint, MI
Date: October 31, 2010
I raised money for the Children's Miracle Network Statewide Walk-a-Thon and donated at the time of the event. *I especially want to thank the medical students in my class that donated money! I'm glad to be part of the generous CHM Class of 2014.*
Other queens were present, and we all visited children at the hospital. We handed them Halloween masks that one of the moms had made and just talked to them to lighten their moods. I really enjoyed it. When I visited the kids, I became more inspired to go into a pediatric specialty in whichever area of medicine I eventually enter into...
I was also able to physically see part of what the Children's Miracle Network does for these sick children. Thanks to CMN, the play room is AWESOME. It is beautifully painted with an underwater theme and has 3 large screen TVs for video games, lots of toys, boardgames, etc. Having those things really makes it more like home for the kids that have to spend part of their precious childhoods in the hospital.
Also, I met Drew Foster! He is a big champion of the Children's Miracle Network and his family does a lot for CMN and the Miss America Organization.
