Mikayla Holmgren - Miss MN USA

I am an advocate for individuals with Down Syndrome. I love being on stage, mostly as a dancer. I choreograph my own dances. I am currently a student at Bethel University . I have spoken to both our state House and Senate for legistlation regarding Trisomies. 

I applied to the Miss Minnesota USA Pageant not knowing if I would be accepted. And, that is all I want...to be accepted.

Well, I am in. The cost was a little more than I was expecting. The money raised will go towards the entrance fee, gown, swimsuit, interview outfit, shoes, hair and makeup,  and other incidentals. 

I want the world to know that Down Syndrome does not define me. With your help, I can help break through walls.

I thank you so much in advance. I will keep you all informed on the progress.
