You have inspired me for a long time. A few years ago I went through a difficult time and it was your strength that helped me get out of bed on those days. Your lovely paintings on my wall and your inability to get out of bed yourself pushed me to get up and get on with my day. Youre an incredible man and I wish you well with life and this competition.
