This week in Beijing we got some wonderful news. Thanks to the concerted

efforts of our most extraordinary HTS family, I am going to carry the

Olympic Torch in Beijing!!

I do not yet know if I will be permitted to run with the children. That

will be up to the Olympic Committee. But you can be sure of one thing:

Whether or not I am allowed to run WITH the children, the world will know

that I am running FOR them.

Thank you, everyone, for helping to share the Olympic spirit with China’s

orphans. I know that those children who are old enough to understand will

be so proud that they have a place in China’s grand celebration.

With love and thanks beyond measure,

Jenny
