Queen Madi, the ADA National Youth Advocate!!

Have we told you the incredible news that Queen Madi is the National Youth Advocate for the American Diabetes Association? Just another of her remarkable achievements!!
From her blog:
"This week is the American Diabetes Association Call to Congress. It will be exciting to be at an event with so many dedicated diabetes advocates from around the country all together for a common purpose.. very powerful. Madi will have an opportunity to address the whole group as National Youth Advocate, with the opportunity to speak to senators and congressmen on Capitol Hill to discuss current trends in diabetes and the epidemic numbers of people being diagnosed, as well as the need for increased funding to STOP diabetes! It will be an awesome, empowering event. If you are interested you can also go to http://www.diabetes.org/living-with-diabetes/parents-and-kids/planet-d/national-youth-advocate.html to follow the blog that Madi keeps for the association."

Coronet's Nat'l Miss Heart of America, Madi Dodge, is the ADA Youth Advocate

We welcome back Madison Dodge to our royal family, this time with the title of Coronet's Nat'l Miss Heart of America.
This recent news from Queen Madi is so exciting! I will use Madi's mother's own words to explain:
"Yesterday Evening Madi received a call to tell her that she has been chosen as the American Diabetes Association’s 2011 National Youth Advocate! The application process for this is rigorous with numerous essays, a portfolio of work for the ADA, letters of recommendation and a video project. Madi has applied each year since she was 9. She has been the youth/teen ambassador for Delaware/Eastern Shore and a Delaware Advocate for years… all in preparation for what has been a major goal of hers… to serve as the National Youth Advocate!

In this one year position Madi will work in close coordination with the ADA to communicate diabetes advocacy message through Nation-wide speaking engagements, the internet, social media and directly to policymakers. She will meet with elected officials about funding, health care and discrimination policies. She will attend training and National Advocacy meetings in DC. She will travel throughout the country to ADA Camps to teach and hopefully inspire children with diabetes… This is the part that she is MOST excited about!"

Madi herself puts it this way:
"You know how I applied for the National Youth Advocate? Well.......
I WAS CHOSEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am soooooo excited!!!!! I have worked at this for 8 years and now I'm finally old enough and now I get to travel all over the country and be a spokesperson and advocate for the ADA..."

The photo shows Madi with her individual and team fundraising trophies from the Step Out Walk.

Madison Dodge we tip our tiaras to you!!!!!!!!!
