I first want to thank each and every person who contributed to getting me to Washington D.C. this summer. Whether you donated, read the article, or flat out hoped for me to go. It all got me there. This summer, I went on a nine day trip to a medical conference through Envision. It was one of the longest weeks of my life, but also one of the best. I made friends and experienced things that are going to stay with me throughout my entire life. Every day we did something new.
