Ashley!!!! I am so excited for you. You are fabulous and will do an amazing job at nationals. Good luck and know I am thinking about you! By the way, GORGEOUS pic.!!!!
Hi Ashlee- 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!
Also, I just wanted to say I think it is great you are a teacher, I am sure your students learn a lot from you and you have opened their eyes to what people with disabilities are and that will always be with them! Good for you.
Best of luck!

Ms. Wheelchair Washington State Pageant Coordinator
Ashlee, I just wanted to tell you good luck and wish I could be there with you at nationals. You are an amazing young lady! I love how you are so positive and passionate about pursuing your dreams. Don’t ever give up. I will be rooting for you.
I love you.

I wish you the best of luck!
Ashlee, I’m so excited that you’ll have this experience! Looking forward to seeing you again this summer.
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!!!
Ms. Wheelchair MD
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

Hello Ashlee,
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

Luv Ya,
