We would like to thank you for supporting Nicole Neal in this year's Super Mom competition. Your participation allows us to aid Children's Miracle Network Hospitals in their commitment to save and improve the lives of as many children as possible.

What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

Seeing my daughter do hard things. Things that once scared her or made her frustrated or things she thought she'd never be able to do. Then doing those things with such pride.

What is one memory of your kids that you will never forget?

My daughter had a speech delay and we started speech therapy at age 3. She hated it and would cry and get so frustrated, but we kept going through all the tears and frustrations. She went from crying and not wanting to speak in front of people, to standing on stage at her preschool Christmas program speaking to a room full of strangers at a microphone singing a song. I'm so proud of her for each and every milestone and all the ones I know are yet to come.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would use this money to take care of my family and maybe take a trip to make memories that would make our hearts smile for years to come when we think about it.
