Angel Shaver Crowned Ms. Wheelchair Kansas 2013
Posted March 18, 2013 by Mandy Smith in Consumer Opportunities
The Miss Wheelchair Kansas event was held at Capitol Plaza Sunday.
The program annually selects one woman who is wheelchair mobile, to successfully empower people at a state level.
Angel Shaver, 38, of Wakeeny, Kansas was crowned as the winner. She suffers from nerve damage and traumatic brain injury from a car accident. She overcame her struggles and holds a master’s degree.
Shaver’s goal is to encourage other people to not let challenges prevent them from reaching their goals.
She will focus on sharing her platform, “Maintaining an Attitude Of Gratitude.” She will represent the state of Kansas at the Ms. Wheelchair America competition in Houston, Texas in July.
Other contestants, such as Jessica Soderlund of Oakley, gave speeches sharing their struggles and missions as well.
Ms. Wheelchair Kansas committee members would like to thank the contestants, for a wonderful weekend!
