This past weekend, I had the opportunity to travel to Albany New York to volunteer and perform at the 2011 American Heart Association Heart Ball. I wouldn't normally travel all the way to New York for something like this, but my sister Tina recently moved out to New York and is in charge of the event. I had a great time volunteering with some Miss New York USA contestants as well as performing a fire twirling routine in front of all of the Heart Association members, sponsors, volunteers, and families!
My brother in law Christian and I ran the bid boards! It was so fun to get to see him and work with him to raise as much money as possible for the American Heart Association!
The ball was at a beautiful facility called "Hall of Springs" in Saratoga Springs, NY
Here I am with the 2011 Heart Princess, Chloe. She survived a (could be) fatal heart defect at birth. She is the reason we have these types of events. Her story is amazing!
Here I am with the 2010 Heart Princess!
With the doctor to both of the heart princess, this man is a hero!
I had a blast performing my fire twirling routine, as I always do! Here are some photos and a video!

I am always very inspired when I attend American Heart Association events such as this one. The room was filled with amazing people who have either suffered a heart condition, have saved someone that is suffering a heart condition, rise money and donate to the cause, friends, family, and more! Tina has been involved with the AHA for 4 years (first in Omaha, then Lincoln, and now in New York!) I love helping her with the events and being involved with such a great organization!
