Today I had the opportunity to volunteer at an event for the Children's Miracle Network! The more time I spend with people from the Children's Hospital in Omaha, or people who work directly for the Children's Miracle Network, I find myself more inspired by the amazing things that these companies do for children all over the nation. I am so proud that Omaha's very own Children's Hospital helped over 16,000 children last year, suffering from all kinds of different sicknesses.
Today's event was a very special one. It was a Radio-a-Thon at the KX96 studio in Lincoln. I volunteered my time answering phones and taking donations. These donations go directly to medical supplies for the children at the hospital in Omaha. It was very inspiring to see so many people willing to pledge to give monthly donations to such an amazing cause.

I was so happy to be able to volunteer at such a great event and I look forward to upcoming events with the Children's Miracle Network this spring! It is such an inspiring company and I know they will continue to save lives and make children very happy for a very long time.
Tomorrow morning I will be flying by myself for the first time (my mom is already in Florida). I am off to "Twirl Mania" which is a really fun baton twirling competition in Orlando. The preliminary events are held at Disney's Wide World of Sports, and the finals for the Collegiate Championships are at Epcot! I look forward to an exciting, warm, magical trip!
Until next time!
