Big Brothers Big Sisters is a mentoring program that helps thousands of children in your community to improve their grades, to build self confidence, and to believe that anything is possible (with a little work). I have been a Big Sister for 4 years - the changes and growth that we have experienced in ourselves has made the time given very rewarding. Check out this site, find an agency near you, and call to learn more about how you can help.

This video was taken of my torch run by a friend. It's her voice that you hear in the background, either screaming like crazy or telling my mom not to knock over the policeman on the bicycle! (that's mom's head that pops into the picture near the middle of this...)

Olympic Liz running the torch. Friend Kate screaming her lungs out, not realizing this nifty little flip camera records audio, too!
