Well I am here! My mom, Donna and I arrived about 3:00pm. We just checked into our rooms and we are heading down to check-in with N.A.C.H. Then we are headed out to dinner and maybe a late swim in the pool. Tomorrow we have a radio interview at 9:30am. I will let you know how it turns out.

Melissa's Story
Melissa was hit by a car as a toddler and suffered a traumatic brain injury. While her initial prognosis was grim, she is now a pretty typical 15-year-old thanks in large part to the team at Children's Specialized Hospital.
Melissa will be blogging about her upcoming trip to Capitol Hill on June 17-18 to tell lawmakers about the importance of access to quality specialized care at children's hospitals.

Melissa -
Two trains and a couple of nights in Washington and getting out there and letting your voice be heard. WOW! You are one confident young lady and I know you will totally amaze everyone you meet and impress them with your knowledge of what needs to be done for all kids. You are a great representative and spokesperson. Enjoy.

Hi Melissa,
My thoughts are with you, your Mom and Donna as you move forward on this journey to represent our Kids. I have all the confidence in you ... in fact ... with all you have endured and conquered, there could be no better representative. Good luck and I look forward to reading your blogs.

Melissa, we are so proud of you. I'm sure you had a full day today but I have no doubt that you wow'd everyone. When you are on the Hill tomorrow, I know you'll melt their hearts with that beautiful smile of yours. Don't be nervous - you are a natural! Remember, even though you are the spokesperson for all kids and have a full calendar, make sure you take some time for you and relax and have fun. See you when you return home!
