Congratulations to Ms. Wheelchair Michigan 2008
You may have seen the story running on the spinal muscular atrophy news feed that’s now on the front page of FightSMA.org. The new Ms. Wheelchair 2008 was crowned earlier this month. 37-year-old Kathy LeMieux of Fruitport, MI is in a wheelchair due to having Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 3. She has no use of her legs and limited use of her arms and hands. Ms. LeMieux says she’ll use her platform as a way to be a public advocate for those with disabilities.
You can read about Kathy LeMieux on the Ms. Wheelchair Michigan website, or read this story about her on Mlive.com.
