Hi everyone,

I'm Taylor and I am running for Miss Maine's Outstanding Teen 2011.

I'm 13 years old and on a mission to help Broadturn Farm. "Buy Local, Eat Local, Be Local" is my passion. Supporting local farms and businesses keeps money within the community!

As a junior counselor, I learned how to grow and raise my own food and live a healthy lifestyle. I want to share that experience with others and give children the opportunity to lead a healthy lifestyle. The summer camp was not offered this year because there wasn't a safe place to shelter campers in inclement weather. This was very sad news not only to me, but to my little brother as well.

I have decided to try and raise these funds through a 5K run/walk. I hope you will join us! Your help is very much appreciated and hope to see you on race day!
