A Message from Joannie Rochette and her Coach Manon Perron

We both want to thank all the people here and across Canada for their support. We have received so many emails and texts, and we wanted people to know that we read everything that you are sending. We also want everyone to know that these messages are helping us to get through this. We are going to do it with Thérèse (Joannie’s mom). Even though we aren’t able to respond to everyone, please keep them coming for both of us.

Thank you for understanding that we’re not doing any interviews because we want to keep the energy and focus for the competition and we both plan to talk to the media when the competition is all over.
