"Congratulations! You've been selected to become a Vancouver 2010 Olympic Torchbearer"

Uncross your fingers......

Last night we got an email from Coke.... better late than never.... with this Message in a Bottle (and do turn your speakers up and check out that link!)

Because, according to Coke's rules, you can only be nominated once, I contacted the person who had contacted me last week about the Premier's nomination to find out just what to do. She told me that they found out last week, when they tried to input Alex's name, that he was already in the system as a runner for Coke, so the Premier nominated someone else.

So...... he has a declaration and waivers to sign and a police check to pass (he just passed one in order to volunteer at the Canada Games) and he'll be running his leg on Day 24 - November 22nd 2009, between Charlottetown and Summerside, PEI (Interactive Map here)

Thanks to all of you who have been crossing your fingers and thinking positive thoughts!

How does Alex feel about it all? --

"I am excited and I hoping to have a great time"
(typed with an ear to ear grin!)

I'm sure he will....
