To our Coach, Dennis Balderston. Thank you for missing so many important family events for the team. Thank you to your family for letting us have so much of you all these years. Thank you for tapping us on the shoulder at the Patch to remind us it was ‘time to go”. Thank you for reminding us of our three F’s! Fun, Focus and Finish! Thank you for always finding new ways to challenge us. Thank you for being the ‘master scheduler’ for our team. Thank you for keeping Cathy O away from Carolyn (and the rest of the team) when she was wanting to have some fun! Thank you for being Cori’s fellow Roughrider fan! Thank you for providing years of entertainment whenever you ordered your custom meal at a restaurant. Thank you for going to the team meetings when we all went to bed. Thank you for attending the pro-am in Lethbridge at the Scotties when we were ALL’ under the weather!’ Thank you for eating all the cheesies in our kitchen at the Olympics to save us the extra calories. Thank you for taking on the role of bouncer and bodyguard for Cheryl at the Olympics. Thank you for the hours you spent facing the corner in our co-ed dressing room in Vancouver while we ALL changed – and for not being mad when we sometimes forgot you! Thank you for knowing us well enough to know when we needed it to be just ‘the team.’ Thank your for the millions of hours sitting on a hard cold chair watching us curl – and not always...

“Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.” — Vincent van Gogh. I can’t believe it’s been over a year since the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver. How time flies! Our entire team has stayed busy with old and new involvements. An as I said in an earlier blog – It is our responsibility to give back. Here are some of the things I support, believe in and give my time to. Get involved! Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada – Most of you know my father passed away from a brain tumour a few years ago. And I am finally able to get involved and help raise awareness as their 2011 Spokesperson. And I am going to run in two of their Spring Sprint events, May 29th in Vancouver and June 12th in Calgary. So once the snow leaves the city of Calgary, I am going to dust off my dog, Hugo and both of us are going to start running again! This year there are 21 Spring Sprint events in eight provinces across Canada, each event is driven by volunteers. The goal this year is to raise $1.5 million for education, information, and support for the estimated 55,000 Canadians affected by brain tumours. Donations also fund research into the cause and better treatments for brain tumours. Visit www.springsprint.ca. READ...
