We need your help finding her.

During her year long reign, she will have the opportunity to travel throughout Illinois visiting elected officials, talking with individuals, and various community groups, making public appearances and conducting radio, print, and TV interviews. Her commitment and personal example serve to further the mission of Ms. Wheelchair Illinois.
