Our current Miss Brainerd Lakes is a diabetic and her platform is Beautifully Broken

Emily Wyman, 2008 Miss Brainerd Lakes  was diagnosed at age 7 with Type 1 diabetes, which occurs when a cell causes the pancreas to stop producing insulin. Emily Wyman, who got her insulin pump when she was 12, plans to study nursing and eventually become a diabetes educator. Her platform for the Miss Minnesota Pageant this summer is diabetes and explaining that if it's under control it doesn't have to control you.

William - In the Miss America system, all the young woman need to have a platform issue that they are passionate about and work on. It varies from charities to health issues to  social issues.

Lara - Emily is a mentor to newly diagnosed children and they love her.  They are afraid and confused and she can show them that diabetes can be lived with and lived well.
