Help Mellisa raise money

A country girl at heart, I grew up on a ranch near Eckville where my parents raised bucking horses. At the age of 15, I was introduced me to the sport of Skeleton and three months later I was crowned Canadian Champion which sparked my Olympic dream. I fell short of qualifying for 2002 Olympics, but it was the best thing for my career as I dug deeper and went on to win 2006 Overall Championship & Olympic Bronze Medal in Torino, Italy. Four years later I repeated this and was the Gold medal favorite at our home Olympics in Vancouver/Whistler. A costly error in my final run dropped me off the podium. Known for my tearful apology to Canadians, I was surprised to be embraced by our country. I committed to another Olympics in Sochi, Russia as well as speaking all over Canada about the impact of owning your actions, risk taking and dreaming big. I have joined the Dusty Smith Team Royal LePage Network Realty and am a host/analyst for CBC during Calgary Stampede.
