Hello everyone,

We can now start to feel the excitement from the Olympics; I’m loving it! Athletes put so much effort and energy to get there, I thought it was important to talk about it. Seventeen out of twenty-six Hopefuls from the McDonald’s 2010 Hopefuls program will take part in the Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver. You can get all the details on the Hopefuls’ website.

Having the chance to experience the Olympic Games is so special for an athlete. Their adventure is just getting started and I hope that you’ll join us and cheer for them and proudly wear your Canadian colors. Make some noise for our athletes!
