Great speech Cory and Michael. Next time you go downhill just imagine there is a huge gold bowl of chocolate covered cherries waiting for you. That may give you a little more incentive to get there faster ❤❤
Thank you, Chelsea! It was a lot of fun. A very generous audience in every way. Thank you SOBC and the 2023 Sports Celebrities Festival for the invitation. Michael.
