We would like to thank you for supporting Laura Whalen in this year's competition. Your support helps us contribute to the National Breast Cancer Foundation who provides early detection, education, and support services to those affected by breast cancer.
I love the evolution into a woman who has the ability to shed old self-imposed limits, to think outside the box and set clear boundaries with what she will accept. I love the ability to be creative and less concerned with other’s opinions .
How do you stay fabulous?I make a commitment to exercise at 4 am before my 7-3 shift and it keeps my mind healthy and creative. I have friends that I schedule time with who are supportive, hilarious, creative and who are the best supports. I love the humor my daughters, my husband and I share and it keeps us grounded in an insane world.
What would you do with the $40,000?I would pay some student loans ( I have a daughter who is a junior at a private college and a daughter who is a freshman bio/med major. I would donate to our local STOPDomestic Violence as my friend was murdered by her husband . Our families had joined with hers and held The Run for Rosie to raise money for local STOP Domestic Violence Shelters as they are under funded l. As her parents aged the runs stopped and I am always looking for a way to support victims in need so they can be safe.
