Simran Gill, a passionate advocate for Fibromyalgia, won the Miss Asian Model in 2011. She has suffered from Fibromyalgia for awhile and has faced the obstacles with grace and diginity.
Despite, leaving her job as an investment banker due to Fibromyalgia and other issues, she decided to enter the Miss England Model competition at the last moment. She ended up making into the semi-finals and then winning Miss Asian Model 2011. She is a true inspiration for Fibromyalgia sufferers.
Here is a bit of her story in her own words.
"At one point my confidence levels were rock bottom due to Fibro and personal issues, so I decided to go into the world of modeling just to help me boost up my confidence a little. I know this is not my career path, but it helped me carry on with everyday life and smile at my achievements.
On the back of this I then entered the Miss England competition for a few reasons. I wanted to be able to help others on a larger scale, reaching out to those that may have suffered from similar issues as I have. I wanted to provide inspiration for them to make something of themselves, where they never thought they could. Additionally, I wanted to prove to myself and to others that anything is possible, just as long as you put your mind to it.
My one motto that has kept me going is "If you believe you will succeed". I hope you all read this and see that we only have this one chance at life, so don't waste it by being upset and focusing on the bad, when we have so much to appreciate in life and enjoy.
Take your time, have a massage to ease the pain even if only for a moment and smile at the fact that as long as your heart is beating, you are still living and can start all over again. So don't let this stand in our way of achieving any goal".
