CMN 2023 Champion

Brooke Glennon, 2023 CMN Champion for Montana

Brooke, a smart, spunky teenagers from Butte, joins youth ambassadors, known as champions, from every state representing 170 hospitals. 

It’s hard to imagine when you meet 17-year-old Brooke Glennon today that there were days she was in such a rage that she was violent towards her mother. The junior at Butte High School has almost a 4. 0 GPA, stands no taller than 4’10 1/2 “, is confident yet soft-spoken. She doesn’t shy away from eye contact, has an infectious smile, and a youthful sense of humor when demonstrating her card-dealing techniques by flawlessly doing the double-bridge shuffle, a skill she learned while being treated at Shodair Children’s Hospital for major depression.

Glennon was named the 2023 Children’s Miracle Network Champion for Montana. “I just want to help others know that there is light no matter how dark it is,” Glennon said. “I want to help others believe they can do it.”

Brooke will spend the coming year working with Shodair Children’s Hospital by being an advocate for those dealing with mental illness. She will speak at schools, partner events and to the patients directly at the hospital providing a message of hope.
