We are so honoured to have Terrance Kosikar as one of the guest speakers at the Expo. His work at Camp My Way and so many other causes from #Depression to #Firstresponders will move you. Six years after the death of a Georgian luge athlete on the opening day of the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, the first responder who tried to save him is still wrapped in the chains of post-traumatic stress disorder. Terrance is known for flipping a nearly 200 kilogram tractor tire through the back roads of Canada while wearing nearly 25 kilograms of steel chain. Mr. Kosikar said the tire and chain are symbols of the burden he has had to endure with a long, lonely battle with suicide attempts and addiction after the death of Nodar Kumaritashvili triggered his mental disorder. http://nbchealthylivingexpo.com/terrance-kosikar/
