We would like to thank you for supporting Monica Cookman in this year's competition. Your participation made a huge impact for Children’s Miracle Network® and their mission to provide life-saving care and improve the health of children across the country.

What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

Seeing my children be better than I. And watching them have a happy and healthy life.

What is the biggest lesson motherhood has taught you?

A healthy mom is a happy mom and a happy mom has a healthy, happy home and children. For a long time I concentrated so hard on everyone around me. I’ve learned that taking time for my mental health and my physical health and my happiness goes a long way. Besides what Mom doesn’t like to get her nails done every once in a while.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would put it towards my son Collin’s college education. He’s graduating high school with his feet on the ground in welding. He’s super interested in a particular school in Virginia that teaches submarine welding.
