Page last updated on 2010 / 18 / 07

Two of Canadian's 2010 Winter Olympics medallists have dug deep into their pockets and donated CAD $25,000 to charity.

Jennifer Heil and Alex Bilodeau have both donated in the aftermath of their successful Olympic campaigns.

Heil, silver medallist in the mogul competition donated to the 'Because I am a Girl' cause, while Bilodeau, a gold medallist in the same event in the men’s category, has made his donation to cerebral palsy research.

Not only are these two great ambassadors for their sport, these donations are a shining inspiration to children who aim to follow in their footsteps.
