I enjoyed painting faces at the Boston Heart Walk!! I think we probably painted about 300 faces! I also got to meet Jared, the Subway guy. It was incredible to hear the stories of people who were walking the Heart Walk. There was one ten year old boy who was born with half of his heart and had undergone so many surgeries, yet he was able to walk for Heart Disease. I admire people who have gone through so much -- their perseverence is so inspiring to me.
The next day, I was in the Apple Peach Parade in Acushnet. Although it was a little chilly, I had so much fun!! Thank you to Bob Burgess of Executive Auto for once again providing me with a car for the parade -- this yellow one was so cool!
I also attended the first local of the year -- Miss New Bedford! It was great to see Donna, Val, Alie, Loren, and so many others! I spoke about the Outstanding Teen program onstage and ran a booth for the first Miss New Bedford's Outstanding Teen Program that will be held next Spring. Congratulations to Taylor Kinzler, Miss New Bedford 2011!
Love,
Kendall
