Autres renseignements me concernant qui pourraient intéresser les médias

On March 18, 2005, my best friend, Stephanie Kerr, was tragically killed in a motor vehicle accident. Stephanie and I were inseparable; we were family. One of us was not without the other. Upon her death I lost interest in the sport I loved; it just didn't seem worth it any more. In May 2005, I gathered enough energy to attend Senior Nationals in New Brunswick. This was the first time that I had to travel without Stephanie. Going to bed that first night I knew she was there with me. When I went to bed I looked up and "Stephanie" was carved into the headboard; like I said, she was there. This gave me the courage to compete to the best of my abilities.

Another incident of Stephanie's presence was at the 2005 Junior Nationals in Fort Saskatchewan (my home town). For my first match I had to wear my own white gi and lost. My next match, and every one after, I wore Stephanie's favorite blue gi. When I put her gi on a feeling came over me and I knew she was fighting with me. She gave me the strength to do what I had to do for both of us; and we won the rest of our matches for a True Bronze medal.

To this day, I always travel with and compete in Stephanie's favorite blue gi.
