Smithtown High School Student starts Curvy Girls support group.
Fitting in isn't easy when you are 11 and have to wear a body brace 22/7. That is why 4 years ago i started Curvy Girls-- a support group for kids with scoliosis. We hold monthly meetings at my house and offer phone and online support, as well as post- surgery hospital visits, and my favorite- shopping consultation for brace wear! Our group helps kids not feel alone and shows them they too can make a difference."

We are currently working on a book of our own scoliosis stories that we hope to publish. If anyone knows an agent, contact me!
Join us on Sat. May 8th for our Annual Scoliosis Awareness walk.
"I believe that we all have something to deal with and scoliosis is my "something." We may not have a choice about what it is, but we have a choice about how to deal with it. Scoliosis changed my life and made me stronger."
- Leah Stoltz, founder and leader of Curvy Girls Support

I first opened my travel agency in 2006, what drew me to this field was a passion for traveling and helping others plan their vacations. In August 2009 I became a Cruise Planners Specialist, an independently owned and operated franchise of Cruise Planners/American Express. This affiliation allows me to provide my clients with the personal customer service of a small boutique agency with the resources of a national company.
Cruising has become one of the most exciting, popular and valuable forms of travel. Whether you are celebrating a milestone birthday, wedding/honeymoon, family reunion or just want to get away with loved ones, I can assist you in planning the perfect vacation. Cruising is a very accessible way to travel and helping those with special needs is one of my specialties. I believe everyone deserves a great vacation. Cruise Planners not only specializes in cruises but we also offer great land and tour vacations.
