Every year the Las Vegas Great Santa Run attract thousands of runners and walkers from around the world to downtown Las Vegas. This year as Ms. Senior Washington USA, I formed a Ms. Senior Pageant Queens Team! As a Team we planned to run, stroll and roll to raise funds for Opportunity Village. The virtual event begins on December 4TH and “runs” through December 26th. I participated virtually this year from Honolulu Hawaii. Mike and I had fun taking photos of special places on the island of Oahu while getting in enough steps to finish the race. I even had the opportunity to cheer for runners at the Honolulu Marathon!

Thank you to everyone who donated! With your overwhelming support we were able to surpass our goal of $1000. The Ms. Senior Pageant Queens Team came in second overall in fundraising. We were beat only by The Drunk Texans!  I also was awarded the second place individual fundraiser. Yup...I was beat by the Team Captain of The Drunk Texans. I won a $75 gift card to Performance Footwear and a one year supply of Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers!
