Tiffany Nickel already serves as Miss Wheelchair Kansas, now she's been named 2nd runner up in the Miss Wheelchair America pageant.
The contest recognizes the achievements of the women and their advocacy for people with disabilities.
Contestants included teachers, a scientist and a radio talk show host.
"We make an every day choice to overcome our disability and overcome the obstacles that we face daily," Nickel told Eyewitness News. "I think we're just there and we do what we do and if we inspire you by chance, then that's great."
Nickel's pageant platform focused on the capabilities of those with disabilities.
28 women competed this year and Nickel says she now has 27 new friends for life.
