Here's another example of how Mia is sharing her story...she was a special guest at a recent Rage in the Cage fight. For those of you who don't know...
I love these photos by James Patrick Photography...SO awesome! It was perfect timing for Mia's next upcoming blood drive...hosted by UFC Champ Tito Ortiz.
It was SO awesome to meet him. We met him at the Rage in the Cage fight...where he came out and introduced Mia as another fighter...she just happens to 'Fight For her Life.'
OF COURSE, Mia fell off a stool 2 hours before our ride came to pick us up. I thought she broke hr ankle...after lots of tears an a mega dose of Advil, an a trip to Urgent Care, she was fine. Just a huge scrape and bruise, which turned into a huge hematoma. They wrapped up her ankle and sent us on our way.
In the cage...front and center, Mia. What a tough girl.
And her big sis Ash!
We love the RITC announcer Rockin Ric Reyes! He is so awesome and has such a booming voice! Love it...
Huddle up...family pic in the cage before all the real action starts!
Mia and I actually walked into this team meeting of many, many fighters getting ready to rumble. Awkward! But it was really neat because the new owner of RITC - Nathan Hyland, introduced us...and explained that Mia fights too. So sweet.
It was pretty cool. Mia's favorite fighter that she met is Estevan Payan and the guy in the cowboy hat who dedicated his fight for Mia, and he won. So did Estevan!
This was a REALLY awesome part...when Pastor Phil prayed over all the fighters.
Down below...we had a tiny room reserved for Mia an Tito...
We met Tito before the show started. He brought his oldest so Jacob who is very, very sweet with him. It was pretty awesome to meet him. What a cool guy!
Of course we had to take pics!! Mia was having fun 'punching' him. Haha
Too funny...Jacob had fun too!
Nathan, one of the new owners of RITC grew up watching Tito, so it was really cool they got to meet.
Then Pastor Phil saw us in the hallway and prayed for Mia. It was SO awesome...I wish I ha a video, his words were straight up from the heart. Thank you Pastor Phil!
Mia and Jacob in Celebrity Theatre.
We saw former Miss Arizona...Jennifer Smestad, she sang the NA! Ugh, she is SO good.
AND Kendra who also has DBA like Mia, drove all the way over from Cali to support Mia at the blood drive and to watch the fights...we love you Kendra!! Bless your heart!
