Miss Iowa Theresa Uchytil, who was born without her left hand, shows her crown to Shriners Hospital patient Matthew Beecher Tuesday. Uchytil, who was a patient at the Twin Cities Shriners in Minnesota when she was young, visited with patients to inspire them to overcome physical challenges. She also reprised her act from the talent portion of the 2000 Miss Iowa pageant: twirling a baton.
