Athletes I Admire:

Terry Fox – He vowed to run across Canada (i.e., the Marathon of Hope – 26+ miles each day) to raise awareness and money for cancer research. He ran with one healthy leg and one prosthetic leg, because he had already lost it to cancer. He didn’t finish his trek because cancer spread to his lungs. He died at the age of 22.

Steve Nash – He was an underdog in the NBA due to his size, but had amazing skills and character which has earned him respect amongst players, coaches and fans.

Favorite Sports to Watch:

NHL Hockey (of course!), Beach volleyball, Olympic Games (Summer and Winter), Fresno State Teams

Favorite Form of Recreation or Exercise:

Family walks, and playing with my kids
