Ms. Achievement Canada 2023 - Lily Ahonen

Countdown to the Crown- one day left until our international final for Ms. Achievement World! My future plans will happen whether or not I am fortunate enough to become the new titleholder. For my platform Donor 4 Life (blood & organ donation) I have outlined plans for the following:

🤍August 2, 2023: Book Launch ‘Sparkle-A Kidney Journey’

🤍September 10-12, 2023: 100 km Kidney March fundraiser

🤍Podcasts/interviews-one per month

🤍Blood donation- three to four times per year

🤍Awareness Events- Reading of the Kidney book to groups of children (schools, hospitals, online)

Countdown to the Crown- 2 days!

I was honored to be at the 2022 Kidney March closing ceremony in September 2022. This year I will be participating in the 100 km , to raise money for the Kidney Foundation. I am pictured with my childhood friend who I donated my kidney to, and his family. Also pictured with fellow pageant sisters

Countdown to the Crown- Day 3
I am a Specialized Foster Parent for medically fragile children, and a corporate wellness nurse

Countdown to the Crown- 4 days. My platform is Donor 4 Life. I am a living organ donor and blood donor. I take action by donating myself, and also strive to bring awareness. My goal is assisting people to know where to register as a donor and help to answer any questions they may have. I donated my kidney in 2019 to a childhood friend.

5 day Countdown to the Crown. All of my relatives live in Finland and other parts of Europe. I have one biological daughter and 4 foster children. My support system includes many community groups that I’m involved with through volunteering, hobbies and work. I have the same best friend since we were 7 years old and two other very close friends who are all like family. I have 2 sisters and their families who live in Canada. And of course my international pageant family

Thank you Crowns & Sashes Magazine for the interview Dr World Productions - Dr World / Dr America / Dr USA / Ms Achievement in this month’s issue

Such an amazing experience today! My daughter Marigold Heart Garden was so grateful to represent United Way of Calgary and Area at the Calgary Stampeders football game, doing the coin toss on the field. She was thrilled to be allowed to keep the coin. What a special day it was!

We brought some school supplies for the donation drive.

$5 from every ticket sold went to the United Way and all donations were matched! Thank you to everyone who came out to this special family day game to support!

I’m so excited to take part in the Confidence Queens fundraiser by Charlotte, a delegate in the Personality Pageants Canada system. I met this lovely young lady last year, when I was a makeup artist at the pageant and had the pleasure of doing her makeup (and she won the title! 😍)

I’m honored to be involved in the pageant community. I’ve worked with many systems, both locally & internationally, and have worn many hats over the years: pageant mom, delegate, titleholder, makeup artist and pageant judge. I have enjoyed every moment!

Countdown to the Crown- Day 6
