Miss Canada Needs Your Help!
In February I talked about Jaclyn Miles, Miss Canada and fellow teacher-candidate at Althouse College. She was a victim of domestic abuse, and she shared her story with some of our classes.
Jaclyn was a university student studying family studies when she was
in an abusive relationship. She told us how she was studying the signs
of abuse but it took her a long time to realize that she was in an
abusive relationship. She was embarrassed, scared, and alone.
She won the title of Miss Canada 2012 not because she's beautiful and well spoken (which she is) but because she wants to create change for victims of domestic abuse. The first step is to Break the Silence, which is the name of her campaign. While Miss Canada is helping her to travel across Canada, Jaclyn still needs to raise funds.
But What Can You Do?
Jaclyn recently entered a contest, Who Inspires U?, which is giving $10,000 to one young Canadian woman to support them in achieving their dreams. She needs over 3000 views to qualify, and only has until May 18th to get up to that number! Please help support her by watching and sharing the video... Just copy/paste this into your status to help her (and don't forget to watch the video too!):

You can also attend her Zumbathon on May 12th if you are in the London area - more information can be found on the facebook event by clicking here.

A million thanks from Jaclyn and I... Just clicking the youtube link gets her one step closer to her dream.
Stay Beautiful,
