Watching the Olympics and all the incredible athletes is just breath-taking and so amazingly inspiring. And watching this video of my cousin brought tears to my eyes.
My cousin Mark (he’s Canadian and I was raised in South Africa …long story) was honored to carry the Olympic torch in Sechelt, British Columbia on Feb 4, 2010. He is a fire-fighter and motivational speaker for Esteem Team – inspiring youth to be confident, do the impossible and live their dreams now. Be doubly inspired and watch Mark’s wonderful video – with his wife Debbie and 3 kids making it so very heart-warming!

The time is now, to live your dreams!

Great video Trudy. Loved hearing his children saying such ‘gung ho’ statements! Thanks for posting this.

Trudy,
Thanks so much for sharing. The video is so inspiring! KUDOs to your cousin for all that he does to give back. I am sure he was completely honored to be a part of something so special.

That is so cool!
I have often thought about how amazing it would be have a part in something like this, even a small part.
Thanks for sharing!

WOW! That was so neat. We really do create our dreams and look what Mark has not only created for himself, but for all those that come in contact with him (and his family). Thanks for sharing!
