Hi. My name
is Misty but, my friends call me MD. I am 30 years old from the little town of
Maple Lake Minnesota. I am now living in
St. Cloud, I moved here in 2002. I was born with Cerebral Palsy (CP) and I have
significant lower extremity weakness and atrophy with spasticity requiring
bilateral ankle AFOs and use a wheelchair for mobility. I have felt that having
this disability has been a learning experience and every day is a new
challenge. Despite this being a challenge, I am still very active. I have a
background in Child and Adult Care and Education from St. Cloud Technical
College.
Other things
I enjoy in my free time are being with family and friends, volunteering at the
Southside Boys and Girls club, writing poetry; I have 3 books done and a new
book is in the works. Its fun to give
them as gifts and see someone smile just for a moment. I was also crowned Ms. Wheelchair Minnesota
2004, that is a year that will always be in my heart.
