As an athlete, I have felt the difference of competing in 'cleaner' cities when compared to the pollution that is found in others. I can't even imagine my beautiful country becoming as polluted as some I have visited, but I know we're all on our way to the reality unless each of us makes a change. I want to make a difference and inspire others to also help the environment.
The more I have the opportunity to travel the world - to see it's marvelous sites and meet it's outstanding people - the more I find myself passionate about helping to protect the earth. I have seen some dirty places, but I have also seen the most pristine beauty and want to do my part to make the world a more beautiful place.
