Run 4 the Orphan

Journey Church is my church home. My husband, kids and I have been so blessed by the fellowship, ministry, and love that is the heart of Journey Church. One of the many ministries they offer is called Passion 117, our Orphan ministry. We have several families at the Journey who are adoptive and foster parents, and we feel called to not only support them, but other adoptive families as well. We have partnered with World Orphan to serve our orphans the way God has called us to. This was our first 5K event and it was a huge success! All proceeds went to orphan care.

Why I compete in the Mrs. Washington Pageant.....

The Mrs. Washington Pageant is all about making a difference in your community. I love that instead of a talent, this is the foundation of our pageant and all of the contestants are accomplished married women whom are active in helping to better their communities.

I took a year off from competing, but did not take any time off from developing and implementing my platform, "Massage on a Mission".

My Health and Wellness platform has evolved and also become a missional opportunity for me to help and support several different charities and organizations by donating chair massage, massage gift certificates for auctions, and educating others about the power of touch in relation to their health.
I have been able to recruit fellow massage practitioners in my community who help me provide chair massage at these fundraising events. This has been so exciting because we are now able to make a bigger impact. I can only imagine what we could do at a national level!

In these tough economic times, I have found the number one issues facing non-profits and charitable organizations is that the amount of cash donations has significantly decreased. I feel my platform is not only viable in helping people feel better, but also a way to help ANY organization raise funds for their vitally important causes.
