Olympic Torch 2010

[sherryc]

Okay, I just applied to be an Olympic Torch bearer for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. I've wanted to do this since 1988 for the Calgary games, but chickened out. They asked what I would pledge to make Canada a better place, and of course I focused on the healthy active living subject. I hope I have a chance! I won't find out until the summer, so it's a long wait.

Good luck, I hope you get to do it. I am the same as you wishing that I had applied to carry the torch for the Calgary Olympics. I am thinking of applying but haven't yet....I also haven't run in years so I will see. I am however going to be a volunteer at the Olympics - Ski Jumping. I am really excited about that. I am going up to Whistler this Sunday for Venue training and then I will be volunteering in January at two events. I am part of the Athletes Entrance Crew.

I also got to hold the torch from the Torino games in 2006 at one of my training sessions. I was very surprised at how heavy it was.
