This pageant is part of the Miss America pageant system. Just think about how great it would be to have a Miss America speaking out on behalf of Lyme Disease, which is Charis's platform!
Since you all understand the fatigue factor of Lyme, we all need to cheer Charis on, as she goes through the demanding pageant schedule for these four days.
Thanks to all of you have already sent e-mails. Those e-mails will be bouquets of encouragement to Charis.
