COMMUNITY SERVICE INITIATIVE:
Be Heard: Advocating for Those with
Chronic Disease
Hello Everyone! My name is Grace Henderson, and I am your
2024 Miss Moorhead!
I am from Fargo, North Dakota but Moorhead is my collegiate hometown! I am a Pre-Physical Therapy student at Concordia College Moorhead double majoring in
Biology and Exercise Science.
On campus, I am involved in Sonder, Students and Alumni Linked Together (SALT), Cheer, Choir, Habitat for Humanity, and Exercise Science Club!
Recently, I just accepted a new job at Sanford as a Therapy Aide. I also work as a Youth Attendant in the day care at Courts Plus. In my free time I love to play the piano, work out at my gym, and spend time with my friends.
My CSI is Be Seen, Be Heard: Advocating for Those with Chronic Disease. Six in every ten Americans are living with a chronic condition. At the age of ten, I was diagnosed with severe Crohn’s disease. Crohn’s is a chronic illness that impacts
my daily life but is unable to be seen from the outside. We must make holistic
health a priority as well as providing safe and supportive environments for
those fighting chronic conditions.
