October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

I was honored to have the opportunity to meet Niki Alpers at the Susan G. Komen Offices in Boston. She is a passionate advocate for Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists, working together to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures.

Congratulations to Kristen who is dancing in New York City this weekend!

A note from our talented titleholder:
I am sorry I cannot be with you all this evening. I am a dance major in college attending a dance conference in New York City for the next two days. As I sit here and reflect upon my year as Miss University I have so many wonderful memories. I have had the pleasure of being part of something truly special, an organization that supports and nurtures the growth of young women. I have matured so much and gained such valuable experiences over the last year that I will treasure always. Whether it was taking pictures and mingling with people at the Apple Festival, participating in Miss NH events or supporting my platform for the National Kidney Foundation I loved and learned from it all.

I would like to thank Brenda, Cindi and the whole Miss NH family for stepping in and assisting me through my first year at Miss NH. I appreciated it more than you will ever know. As my year comes to an end I would like to recognize everyone that is involved in making Miss NH the outstanding program that it is and just say THANK YOU because every single one of you makes a difference.

To the New Miss University treasure every moment it goes by faster than you can imagine. Learn, live, laugh and love it all it is truly a magical experience.

Kristen Ruggieri, Miss University 2009
