“Reason this person is a Gold Ribbon Hero: For her Girl Scout Gold Award project and because of her compassion for teens, she planned and executed a spa day for teens with cancer and other illnesses. She garnered the support of the community and Wish Upon A Teen to hold this day to make these teens feel like princesses for a day and to learn about proper makeup, nailcare and facials during treatments. The volunteers were teens so that the participants could chat with other teens on topics including combating teen stress.  Everyone had a great time and Maya’s Girl Scout troop plans to have another spa day for teens with cancer soon.” – Maureen S.
