Olympic Sunset
The end of the 2010 Winter Olympics is drawing close.
While there are things to both support and to despise about the Olympics, I have been pleased with the way Vancouver/Whistler held up and even shone.
But what has most caught my attention has been the athletes themselves.
Among the many heart-warming stories and accomplishments I just wanted to acknowledge 3 of our medal-winning Canadians and their generosity.
As far as know, most competitors are not rich. If anything, broke is a closer description. So to see Jennifer Heil, Alexandre Bilodeau & Clara Hughes donate their entire bonus for winning a medal to charity makes me proud to support them.
Congratulations to them and all the athletes for their determination is getting to these Olympics and taking the risks necessary to be among the best in the world. :)
