It has been a long year for everyone and things are finally getting back to more normal.  This year I chose to be on Team Norcott.  Although I didn't know Tom very well, this is what I do know about him.  He took great care of two people that I have become friends with though ASPNC and are also on Team Norcott, Natasha and Taylor, among other friends too.  When volunteering with Tom he always had a smile on his face and you could see the immense joy he had with the participants.

     Let me briefly start with Natasha, Tom took her into his home on the weekends when she would drive up to Cannon to volunteer for Alpine.  She became my snowboarding buddy and I would hear stories about Tom.  The first time I meet Tom when we were volunteering together I knew. I said to him "Are you the Tom that takes good care of my friend Natasha?."

     Now for Taylor,he was one of the first persons I meet along with Chester when Nancy R. introduced  me to ASPNC to try to get me to volunteer.  These three people are the reason why I joined after  one day of observing and participating.  Taylor went on a bike ride with me and we played a trivia game and Taylor won hands down.  I have volunteered with Taylor and also helped him as an athlete with skiing, swimming, sled hockey, and of course biking.  Taylor was good friends with Tom and Tom always had Taylor's back.  
     Please help us to raise money for a great organization that has enriched not only the athletes lives but the Volunteers's lives as well.  
                           Thank you,
