IT'S GOLD BABY!! (part 2)

Cory won an individual Gold Medal today at the 2010 Special Olympics National Summer Games. Here he is when he got the news:







And afterwards with his proud mum and dad:






Now it's on to the Team Gold Medal game tomorrow, around 10am Eastern Time. We fly back to Vancouver tomorrow evening while Cory returns to Vancouver with Team BC on Sunday morning, around 9am. We'll be there to greet him of course, and if any of his supporters who live in the Vancouver area wish to join us, we'd love to see you there. It's an Air Canada flight from Toronto, around 9am on Sunday.

We'll try to update this blog before we leave London.

Thanks again for all your support and messages - over 20 hits to this blog today alone - thanks so much everyone.

A special thank you to Cory's Montreal relatives - and especially to my brother Gilles- for making the surprise trip down to London and making this just an extraordinary week for us.
