My names is Maria, I am 46 . Went from working at the young age of 13 and built my life around what I was taught from a young age.
We would like to thank you for supporting Maria Yannarella 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 that I can still keep up with my 11 year old son. Honestly, he keeps me going and these are the best moments and memories. 40 is just a number, I feel better then ever… everyone has their days but you built yourself back up and was taught to be strong no matter what! I embrace my age just by being myself.
How do you stay fabulous?Staying fabulous is being focus, healthy body & mind. Laughter is key. I always love to see smiles on faces no matter who you are, in return it brings out the best in me. Staying active and not overthinking everything is a lesson I have learns at this stage of my life.
What would you do with the $40,000?The reward is fabulous,, a donation to the breast cancer foundation will go towards breast cancer research as my best friend is a warrior with this obstacle as we speak but winning the battle! A portion will go towards my whole world, which is my son and his future education.
