Hello,

My family are huge Manuel fans.  My son and daughter love him. My son just finished an oral presentation on Manuel

last week (he got an A!). Both our kids race – Alex is in Nancy Greene and Jonathan is in his last year of K1.  Jonathan has been racing since he was 5.  He loves to go fast and his dream is to be on the National race team like Manuel.

The best is our daughter. She loves to race. Everytime she comes down the hill she says “I am Manuel Osbourne-Paradis!! (Lots of emphasis on the Paradis!) then in her head she is thinking red,blue,red,blue…..gets to the bottom and does the cowboy bang bang….!!!  It is priceless.

We wish Manuel all the best for the Olympics and we will be watching. We are excited for him and look forward to seeing him on the podium.

Thank you and all the best.

Liz
