· A personal note from Joanna

On a personal note, thank you to everyone who has written to me expressing concern about my health. I'm sorry that I have not been able to reply personally to everyone that have written me. It has been difficult for to me to find the time to log online in the past few months. But I will be diligently following Apolo's progress at the Olympics and will update you whenever I can. Even if I can't update the web site I will send messages to the mailing list to keep everyone up-to-date on Apolo's results.

GO APOLO AND TEAM USA!

· Reason for lack of updates:
Due to some medical issues I have not been able to update this site for the past few months. Unfortunately, I've had to cancel my plans to attend the 2006 winter olympics in Torino, Italy. =(

I am hoping to be able to begin updating again soon. Thanks for your patience!
