2018 Winner Elana Regan with Scott Krug and Regan family

Elana’s Let’s Go Attitude was demonstrated in her essay, especially the sentence “I do not know what the future will hold for me, but there are two things I know: 1) Being legally blind has made me a better and stronger person and 2) As I continue going through life, I will never stop saying “let’s go” because if I “don’t go”, I will never achieve all the wonderful things I know I can do.”
