I’m 63 and fabulous. I suffer from two rare diseases that also cause me to want to be fabulous for my family. Each day I’m thankful & fab!

What do you love about being over 40?

I love the maturity I’ve developed being over 40, and the fact that I’m still learning new things everyday. Being over 40 has no limits, except when it comes to my physical body, but even with having rare medical issues, I’m still learning, and able to help others to stay young mentally. Age really is just a state of mind, and in my mind I’m still 40.

How do you stay fabulous?

I stay fabulous by eating healthy, exercising, and spending time with family and friends, as well as helping in my community. For me it’s not about make up, or Botox and fillers. I stay fabulous with getting joy out of my day to day life, and looking forward to tomorrow. I feel fabulous every day that I’m a loud to wake up and experience another fabulous day.

What would you do with the $40,000?

If I had $40,000 the first thing I would do would be to purchase the shots I’m on for several months. My shots run $5,000 a month. The other thing I would do would be to donate to a disabled person who is suffering with similar medical problems. No one knows how hard it is to afford life saving treatment until they are in that situation. I’ve gone without my shots before because of not being able to afford them.
