Newswise — SAN RAFAEL, CA – March 25, 2011 – 2010 Miss Delaware Kayla Martell is scheduled to appear on the television program “The Doctors” this Monday, March 28th. The original taping occurred earlier this month. Kayla chose the National Alopecia Areata Foundation as her platform.
“The Doctors” is a nationally syndicated television show which airs five days a week. It features four respected doctors; ER physician Dr. Travis Stork, OB/GYN Lisa Masterson, cosmetic surgeon Dr. Andrew Ordon, and pediatrician Dr. Jim Sears. The doctors discuss and debate a wide range of topics in the medical field.
Kayla was crowned Miss Delaware in 2010 and chose alopecia (AL-OH-PEE-SHA) areata (AIR-EE-AH-TAH) and the National Alopecia Areata Foundation as her platform for the 2011 Miss America Pageant in January. This was an effort to create awareness for the autoimmune disease which she has personally dealt with since she was ten years old. The 22-year-old Milford, Delaware native finished as a top ten finalist, only the third from Delaware to do so. Her reign concludes on June 11th, when the 70th Miss Delaware is crowned.
