Bedfordview beauty joins Casual Day parade
Bedfordview resident, and Miss Earth SA 2013 finalist, Nicole Laxton was recently appointed Casual Day’s new ambassador.
As ambassador for the project, Nicole plans to host her own Casual Day fundraiser on Friday, September 6.
“I am honoured to be a Casual Day ambassador. This gives me the opportunity to learn more about the sector and to be of assistance to Casual Day,” said Nicole, when she recently visited the Casual Day head office and warehouse in Edenvale.
At only 19, her empathy for people with disabilities is partly as a result of being diagnosed with Absence Epilepsy when she was 9 years old.
She has never allowed her condition to stand in the way of achieving her dreams and goals.
“I speak from my own experience, but I am eager to get involved with creating awareness around other conditions,” Nicole said.
At the age of 16, Nicole was selected as the youth ambassador for Epilepsy SA.
Nicole believes her contributions to society are more important than her limitations.
She feels her achievements are defined by what she can contribute and the difference she can make.
Nicole’s Casual Day fundraiser will take place at the S.W.E.A.T 1000 franchise in Bedfordview.
“We want to turn this into a really fun event, so come to S.W.E.A.T to get your stickers, go big and make a big impact on the world,” Nicole said.
