October 11, 2012 by Sonia Marsh 4 Comments

Congratulations to Paige Strickland who won the September 2012, “My Gutsy Story” contest with 56% of the votes. I also want to congratulate Jonna Ivin, Tom Cirignano and Tracy Leigh Ball. You are all winners and thank you for sharing your “My Gutsy Story.”

Sonia Marsh says: I found your story incredible and a warning to others. As you say, “I am sharing my story today so that I can help prevent others from doing the same thing my parents did.”
