Olympic Torch
I just found out that I will be an olympic torchbearer for the 2002 Salt Lake City games!
Representing Citigroup (my parent company)and the sci community (Craig Hospital, etc.) I hope to garner some local media attention to bring more awareness and education to our cause. Being the only guy in a chair (I'm C6-7)look for me somewhere between Colorado & Utah. GO CURE!

Torch bearer
When they had the LA Olympics and Paralympics the wheelchair uses had a bracket installed on their chairs so they could push and carry the torch without dropping it (or getting burned!). Also used for power wheelchair uses who could not hold the weight. Let us know when you know your assigned position and time!

Thanks everyone
Max, you hit it on the head. The first thought was 'what if I drop it?'
Anybody got a light? Maybe I'll have to get a jump start off of someone's cigarette? Hey buddy... I'll definitely have to get a bracket or I'll just be going in circles pushing with one hand. Date and time to follow as soon as I hear. GO CURE!
