This is a copy of the Young Survival Coalition’s recent newsletter. I received a nice shout out in it! Woo hoo for the Tour de Pink raising 140,000$ in it’s first year!
Atlanta’s Tour de Pink Results and Highlights
Over 300 cyclists came out on October 17th, to pedal for young women with breast cancer. The Inaugural Tour de Pink Atlanta, challenged riders to brave cold winds on 4, 18, 62 and 100 mile routes.
Cyclists were led by the Mayor of Dunwoody, Ken Wright, along with his wife and kid (on the family route). Earlier in the month, Mayor Wright declared it Tour de Pink Atlanta Day for the city of Dunwoody. Miss Georgia, Emily Cook, was also on hand to help raise awareness for breast cancer in young women. Despite the weather, Tour de Pink Atlanta raised over $140,000 for metro area programs for young women with breast cancer. Check out event photos online!
The event would not have been possible without the generous support of our lead sponsors: Bright Starts and Amoena. Bright Starts provided a team of over 70 riders to raise funds and awareness for young women and breast cancer. Amoena is a proud partner of YSC (local and national) sponsoring the upcoming Conference for Young Women Affected by Breast Cancer.

So I’ve made the official move down to Columbus to get in the right setting and mindset for Miss America. Although I don’t have a ton of “stuff,“ it does make a big difference to be away from all the comforts of home. As you may know, my dad is a certified BBQ judge and really phenomenal cook, so being away from his constant masterpieces should definitely make my trainers happy! I will have to admit that my taste buds will miss him terribly!
I’m pretty much moved in at this point with my Miss Georgia host family and I’m now just trying to settle into a routine and get my head in the game. I am so incredibly excited for Miss America and I really love the preparation too, however I’m just ready for everything to kick into high gear. I love being busy and am at my most productive when things are a little bit hectic, so now I just need to be ready for the craziness to begin!
