Telstra Paralympics Ambassador Donna Ritchie gives us the insider’s view of the courage, determination and excitement of the 2010 Paralympic Winter Games, now underway in Vancouver, until March 21.
Donna, it is great get your insight on the Winter Olympics first hand. Sounds like you need a warm hot chocolate or two! Keep the updates coming they are great – an excellent use of technology! Jane
Yeah, thanks for the report back to us at home Donna Ritchie .
I think the Paralympics is an enormous display of bravery, courage, and Zen like concentration from each competitor to just survive each training session.
Best of luck to all of the competitors.
Hi Donna. Hope you are having a great time in Whistler. Have you had a chance to try some of the winter Para-Olympic sports, yet? I trust that the locals are looking after you and plying you with all sorts of delicious treats and hot drinks to stave off the cold. Janelle
Hi Donna, I just got back from the Olympics myself. Vancouver and Whistler are fantastic. Looks like you are having a blast, you will aclimatise to the cold. Make sure you try a Beaver Tail with Apple and Cinamon at Zogs, at the base of Blackcombe Gondola. Go Aussie Aussie Aussie.
Donna, you are an inspiration and so positive. Congratulations on being a Telstra Ambassador at the Paralympic Winter Games. Rug up and enjoy the events with your family.
I’m sure you’ll acclimatise after a few hot drinks ;-P. Look forward to your next update.
Donna, glad to see alll things went well. Hope your Blackberry worked ok. I was waiting for your call from Japan, but not forthcoming so assumed all worked out..
