Michelle Obama encouraged 80 Denver-area high school girls Monday to not only seek mentors, but to fill that role themselves. Julie McCawley is already living that message.
McCawley, a Westminster High School junior who shared a table with the first lady at a Governor's Mansion luncheon, is visually impaired because of an adverse drug reaction as an infant. She now has a foundation that aims to educate people about adverse drug reactions and a condition known as Stevens Johnson Syndrome.
"She was amazed by it," McCawley said of her discussion with Obama about her work. "She had never heard of something like this before, and she asked if she could keep the fact sheet."Congratulations Julie - You have taken SJS awareness to a whole new level.
