About Me
- Ms. Wheelchair Kentucky 2008
- Jaime Blanton is no stranger to advocating on behalf of people with disabilities. Diagnosed with cerebral palsy at age 1, Jaime has never let her disability stop her from accomplishing great things. A devoted wife and mother of two, Jaime tackles any challenge with her own brand of style. She is currently pursuing a master's of higher education at the University of Louisville. Jaime was a high school teacher, journalist and spokesperson before she became a Louisville Cardinal. She graduated from Texas Christian University with a BS in journalism and political science. As a young child, Jaime recognized her skills as an advocate for disability rights and equal access. She was selected to travel with President Jimmy Carter in 1992 to raise money for disabled sports, and her work for the 1996 Paralympic Games earned her the opportunity to carry the Paralympic flag in the game's opening ceremony. She currently serves on the board of PUSH America, the national philanthropy for Pi Kappa Phi fraternity.
