She <br />explained that this is the premiere pageant in Minnesota, which recognizes marriage and family <br />values, and requires the contestants to have a platform. She indicated her father has <br />Huntington’s Disease, and therefore, she has chosen this as her platform. She explained that <br />Huntington’s Disease is a genetic, neurological disorder, affecting 40,000 Americans, and the <br />children of a parent with this disease stand a fifty percent chance of contracting it, as well. She <br />stated it is her belief that there will be a cure for this disorder in the near future, and her hope that <br />this will be the last generation affected by Huntington’s Disease. <br /> <br />Mayor Coughlin thanked Mrs. LaVine for her comments and extended his congratulations to her. <br />He noted that later in the evening, the current Mrs. Minnesota, Dee Henderson would be joining <br />the meeting, at which time the Council would pause to recognize her. <br /> <br />6.
