Also, please consider supporting literary risk-taking and our determined athletes by purchasing Winter Sport: Poems, the successful culmination of Uppal's adventures at the 2010 Winter Olympics, Paralympics, and Arctic Games (through www.mansfieldpress.net or www.amazon.com or www.chapters.indigo.ca, or preordering Summer Sport: Poems at http://mansfieldpress.net/2012/07/summer-sport-poems/ (Uppal donates her royalties to CANFund)
