Meet
Mrs. Minnesota International 2010!
Susie Overvold (Mrs. Excelsior) was
crowned Mrs. Minnesota International 2010 on March 7th in St. Cloud.
Minnesota, where she competed with other "county/city" title holders from
across the state. These women are recognized for their achievements as
individuals and as a vital part of the family unit.
HER PLATFORM
"Path to a Cure"
An active volunteer spokesperson and advocate for the
Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation
(JDRF), she became involved with the organization by participating in the
Walk to Cure Diabetes, Imagination Ball and many other speaking
engagements to educate and raise awareness with the hope to one day find a
cure.
Susie was inspired by her
young neighbor, a delightful girl by the name of Mickey. She has watched
Mickey’s family (and an innocent child at the age of 3), grow up with this
painful disease. Susie says, "There is no day off in the life of a child
with juvenile diabetes. It is my mission and goal to promote my platform
in hopes that we may someday find a cure for this disease."
JDRF is a leader in setting the
agenda for diabetes research worldwide, and is the
largest charitable funder and advocate of Type I
research. The mission of JDRF is to find a cure for
diabetes and its complications through the support
of research. Type I diabetes is a disease which
strikes children and adults suddenly and requires
multiple injections of insulin daily or a continuous
infusion of insulin through a pump. Insulin,
however, is not a cure for diabetes, nor does it
prevent its eventual and devastating complications
which may include kidney failure, blindness, heart
disease, stroke, and amputation.
