Her amazing support team includes fellow FAME Athlete and Body Proud Community role model, Kailey Michelle Plain. Plus, flying in all the way from Philadelphia is Aruna Paramasivam whose skills as an emcee shone at the FAME Northeast Championships that we decided to have to share her enthusiam with the Westcoast crowd!

Of course all the athletes will be well taken care of backstage by the fun loving, comedic, always enthusiastic and nerve calming Kevin Friesen (aka Kebbin) who may even grab a few moments on the FAME Stage himself.

As always, FAME Photographer Tim Rollans will be on hand, amongst many other leading industry photographers and media, to capture all the action!
