Canucklehead Torch Run

Well, here it is - the final product. I wish I had more video to show - but this is all I've got!

Paris, Ontario - December 22, 2009: A time and place that will be with me for the rest of my life. I'll have the memories forever and to help me preserve them I have made this video, which I share with you now.

The 2010 Olympic Torch Relay is a 45,000 kilometre journey across Canada that will unify the country and build excitement for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games. The relay is over 100 days long, and will visit over 1000 communities and places of interest. I was chosen as 1 of 12,000 to help the torch make it journey around Canada, which at over 45,000 kilometres is the longest in history to be contained within the host country.

I'm proud and honoured to be part of the Vancouver 2010 Olympics, even though I suppose it is in a limited way. The world will be soon be watching Canada and I wish all our athletes the best - we are already proud of you!

I do want to take this opportunity to publicly thank my employer, Bell Canada for this once-in-a-lifetime experience! While I only actually carried the torch for a few minutes, the joy of this day will last me a lifetime!

I really have no closing words, I hope you enjoyed the video and I hope you enjoy our upcoming Olympic games.

GO CANADA!

CHEERS!
