Thanks for posting the article and nice to see Joannie is involved in such a good project. As hard as she must train it is refreshing to see a skater using some of their vacation time getting involved and helping those less fortunate.
Go Joannie! :yes:

Just another update on Joannie. She is one of ten Canadian athletes to receive financial backing from Molson. Each athlete will receive up to $20,000. An interesting side-note, Joannie's boyfriend is also one of the athletes receiving this funding! :thumbsup:
