NASCAR Coca Cola 600 - Food Lion Speed Street

 
The annual Food Lion Speed Street hit the streets of Uptown Charlotte this past weekend!  Race fans came from all over to enjoy NASCAR's prelude to the Coca Cola 600.  Appearances by NASCAR's biggest stars, live performances on a variety of stages with great food and family fun for all ages.  I had the pleasure of meeting many wonderful people which meant lots of autograph signing and picture taking.  I had a blast and look forward to next years event!

M.D. Laser Studio

First visit to M.D. Laser Studio with Dr. Andy Castillo was a fantastic experience!  Having no idea what to expect or even what I wanted done, Dr. Castillo explained in detail what his treatment plans included and his thoughts on time frame as preparing for Nationals.  Dr. Castillo knows exactly what Queens needs to compete at the National Level. I'm so excited and can't wait until my next visit for treatment!

A Survivor’s Strength

My Mom

The American Cancer Society-Relay for Life of Alexander County hosted The Annual Cancer Survivor Luncheon at East Taylorsville Baptist Church. The luncheon was held to honor the cancer survivors of Alexander County. This event was especially meaningful because this year marked my mother’s 2 year anniversary of surviving breast cancer. The cancer survivors created a strong, hopeful atmosphere that fueled my spirits to fight this cause even more!!
