I had the opportunity to volunteer for the Miracle League on May 11. I absolutely loved it and it was such an amazing experience. My teen queen, Blair Wortsmith, also volunteered with me! It was a lot of fun for us to volunteer together for an organization that fit both of our personal platforms. My platform is "EveryONE Counts" raising awareness for children with disabilities. Blair's platform is "Be Proactive, Get Active!" The Miracle League is a baseball game for children with disabilities. When the children get to the field they pick who they want their buddy to be for the game. Blair and I both volunteered for two games. It gave us both a chance to meet more children and have more than one buddy. My first buddy was Kate! Kate and I had so much fun talking and running the bases together. Kate was definitely a pro at playing baseball! My last buddy of the day was Maddie. She was absolutely precious and I had so much fun helping her bat! Maddie smiled off and on throughout the game, but she really smiled when she saw my crown. She kept wanting to touch my crown. I let her touch it a lot throughout the game, but I told her that she's so beautiful she should be wearing it. So, after the game was over I let Maddie wear my crown. When I put the crown on her head, she instantly sat up as straight as she could and smiled so big! I'm so lucky that these sweet children let me spend my afternoon with them as they played baseball! A big thank you to the Miracle League organization for everything you're doing for children with disabilities. It's so rewarding to see children have a chance to excel and have a big smile on their face!
