Now this is a person who is doing good things. Hopefully kids will listen and look at her as a role model.
Actually maybe Paris, Britney, Lohan and the others should not only read Danica's book - but actually try following in her footsteps.

Ahh, good ol' Winnie. I can't believe she's in her 30s. Definitely right that we need more role models like her.
