Eight year old Betsie Valley Elementary student Hanna Essex is taking on the Little Miss Wheelchair competition. At eight years old Hanna has already conquered the biggest challenge of her life, life itself. Born without a heart beat, Hanna spent the first eight minutes of her life, dead. Doctors told Hanna's Mother Pricilla Hanna would be a vegetable, but Hanna is anything but. Next weekend Hanna intends to roll into the hearts of the Little Miss Wheelchair judges.
