Need Your Help - Local Girl Remaking Myself

Just 3 months ago I had major surgery for a diseases that had been misdiagnosed for 15 yrs with. I was in such debilitating pain every day for so long that I had lost myself and most of my confidence. Since the surgery I've had to re-build what I lost. I thought this was a great way to put myself out there, love myself just as I am and continue to live life to the fullest - this is the reason I entered into the amazing model search to be the new face and body of Curvy Kate (a lingerie line from the UK who's bringing their brand here to the USA). 

Out of over 700 women in the USA that entered, I made it to the top 5!  This is not only a chance of a life time, but an opportunity to be a role model & an inspiration for other woman to love their bodies just as the are! Beauty comes in all shapes, sizes, colors & ages.  It's not often that the media embraces you're EVERYDAY woman - and this would be the perfect opportunity to do so.

I need the support of my local area and even tri-state area in order to win.
