My Torch to Bear

Well, I've been talking for some time about me running with the Olympic torch, and have previously published some details (Dec. 22 - Paris Ontario - 8Am). Anyways, I'm excited to announce that I received my torchbearer outfit the other night. After reading the accompanying booklet I learned that I should (against my better judgment) try said uniform on just to make sure it fit. So I did. Yes, there is a picture below but I think there is some important facts to relay first:

• I'm currently participating in Movember, whereby one grows a moustache and people sponsor said moustache and the proceeds go to Prostate Cancer. I look terrible in a moustache but it's for a good cause. Actually, that being said - if you care to sponsor me you can do so HERE. Regardless, it will be gone when I run with the torch.

• I'll be carrying the Olympic torch. It is my sincere hope that this fact alone, coupled with the lack of moustache should subtract from the overall dorkiness.

Okay, I've kept you in suspense long enough, I'm not exactly sure I'm allowed to do this but then again I don't remember reading anywhere that I couldn't. I mean, we see the torchbearer uniform all the time on TV now right? OK - here goes nothing:

I know what you are thinking and yes - sorry ladies, I'm taken! I figure if nothing else this outfit will help ensure the torch does in fact reach Vancouver on time. Me - beating the ladies off with one had as I run for my life - it will be a sight to behold! Anyway, there is your sneak peek and thanks for coming by .. you can see future details as they come available by stopping by here or my other place. All the best and GO CANADA GO! Cheers! PS - I almost forgot, for those who actually hope to be there but are not sure how there are a TON of contest running right now and certainly more on the way - check HERE for details.
