My design this year for the 2020 Progress, Hope and Happiness Event, Tokyo bound, was started here in Canada, just before everything shut-down in response to Covid-19. My inspiration at first was all the athletes who participate in the Olympics and instead turned to everyone in the world suffering hardships during the pandemic. So my offer is Holding On, hoping that in time the future will seem brighter.
