Dear OneRing.Net,

Just wanted to let you know that I had nominated Sean Astin to potentially be a torchbearer for the upcoming Athens Olympic Summer Games. The torch will be passing through Los Angeles, Ca. Torchbearers will be announced in April, so keep your fingers crossed for him, he could be wearing the olympic rings instead of “the ring” this time!

Whether he is chosen or not. I think he is a real winner! I nominated Sean because of outstanding contributions to AIDS, Wildlife, Literacy and especially his work with volunteerism.

Sincerely,

Donna
