This Thanksgiving, I am reflecting on the many blessings in my life—family, friends, and the privilege of being part of communities that inspire and uplift one another. I am grateful for the power of sport to unite us, for the incredible people I’ve met along my journey, and for the opportunities to give back and help create a brighter future for all.
Let’s take a moment to cherish the connections we hold dear and to extend kindness and gratitude to those around us. Wishing you and your loved ones a holiday filled with joy, warmth, and love. 🦃✨ -Anita #Thanksgiving2024 #Gratitude #TogetherWeThrive #ThankfulAndBlessed
