Wanted to say congratulations for being Ms Wheelchair Arkansas. Look forward to seeing all of the wonderful ladies in Rockville! Even though we might be competing for the same title, it is not about the title but what we can do to promote our cause to all of the Nation! Good luck!

Hi Jonna- I just wanted to introduce myself since I won’t be able to meet you at the National Pageant. I am the state coordinator for Ms. Wheelchair Washington Pageant. I was Ms. WC Washington 2006 and I had a great year. I am sorry I won’t be there to meet all of you this year. Good luck in all you do and have a wonderful time at the Ms. Wheelchair America pageant. It was one of the best weeks of my life! And I have to say you don’t look old enough to have 5 grandkids!

Best of luck!
Tammy Wilber
Ms. Wheelchair Washington State Pageant Coordinator

This is one special caring lady. I am so proud to be her friend.

I wish you the best of luck!

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you in advance to the great state of Maryland. I look forward to meeting you. I know that we will all have a great time during the week of Nationals. Good luck and most importantly have fun!!!

Hi Jonna, I’m Rose, Wheelchair Virginia. Looks like we share the same disibility. And I like determination! It gets us a long way! Are you geared up for week of fun as we complete? I look forward to meeting you. Have a safe and enjoyable rip.

My name is Angie Wilkerson: I was Ms. Wheelchair Virginia 2005-2006, second runner-up at Ms. Wheelchair America 2006 and also was awarded the People’s Choice Award. To all contestants, congratulations! As you get ready for MWA I know you are probably very excited and nervous at the same time. I wanted to share these pieces of wisdom based on my experiences and advice I received. You will be glad if you do all of your preparation before going to MWA (prepare & practice speeches, etc.), once you arrive pace yourself- don’t wear yourself out- get your rest and eat well- take care of yourself, enjoy every moment of the experience, take lots of pictures, try to meet and spend time with each contestant- you will be so inspired and enriched by doing so, you are all amazing and special…don’t compare yourself to anyone else- just be the best you that you can be, think of your fellow contestants not as competition but rather as members of a team with the same mission as you. May you all support, encourage, educate, and inspire one another. Have the time of your life and congratulations again to each of you on your achievements.
God bless,
Angie Wilkerson

Hey Girl,

I can’t wait until you go to the MWA pageant. You are going to have a great time. Good luck! I know you will do great! Love ya!

Hi Mom, good luck and remember that it’s not about winning, it’s about making people aware of your cause. Remember to have fun and take some time to pamper yourself as you so rarely do. I love you and I’m sorry I can’t be there. Take lots of pictures! Remember to smile and remember that no matter what the outcome, you still kick ass.

Hello Jonna,
In five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes. How do you measure, a year in the life?
This exact question from one of my favorite songs from the musical RENT began running through my head from the moment I recieved the title of Ms. Wheelchair Tennessee. How would I measure this year? And now I know I am measuring it in every lesson taught and learned and every friendship made.

I am looking forward to a great week here at Nationals. Thank you for being a part of how I will measure this year.

Kasondra, Ms. Wheelchair Tennessee 2008
