McKenzie Carey is 12 years old. She is from Georgia and just loves pageants. Unfortunately, McKenzie was diagnosed as 8 months old with Mitochondrial disease. 

Her amazing dad made sure that this diagnosis would not limit what his daughter can do and does the most beautiful things for the talent portion  of the pageant. The disease left her unable to move and speak so Mike, her father, stepped in. He has been helping his daughter in pageants now for the past five years and uses these opportunities to help spread awareness about Mitochondrial disease. 

Way to go dad!
