But today things changed!
Mom got word that she has been nominated by the Canadian Medical Association to participate in the Olympic Torch Relay this winter!!
She will be embarrassed that I've posted the following, so that's why I'll do it:
Hello, I am nominating Dr. Nesta Leduc to participate in the Olympic Flame Relay
on behalf of the Canadian Medical association. She lives in Whitehorse,
Yukon. Phone number is xxx xxx xxxx and email is nleduc@xxxxx It
is best to reach her by email as she is often out during the day.
My name is Dr. Sherillynne Himmelsbach from Whitehorse, Yukon and phonenumber is xxx xxx xxxxNesta is a 76 y/o retired family doctor who has lived and worked in Whitehorse from early in her career. She has been active for years hiking,canoeing, skiing and sea
kayaking, promoting and modelling an active lifestyle for her children while
working at a busy fulltime family practice. Since her retirement she has remained
very active in the community promotingactive living for seniors through example
and through the Elder Active Association of Yukon. In 1998 she was chair of
the Strategic Committee forPhysical Activity Yukon. She is a member of the board
of the local crosscountry ski club. Nesta has now discovered an interest
in competition. She is often off to national and international senior/master
competitions in orienteering, cycling, swimming or cross-country skiing. In
fact next week she is off to Australia to compete at the international
orienteering championships. In august she won 3 gold medals at the Canadian
orienteering championships and would have won the category below. She was
33 of 90 atthe World Senior Games in Austria in 2005. Nesta has competed
and won medals at the Canada senior games in cycling and swimming and
cross-countryskiing.
I believe for these reasons Nesta Leduc would be an
excellent representative of physicians, seniors and Yukon to participate in the
Olympic Torch Relay.
