A message of sur- vival, personal growth and coming out on top. "I am a perfect example of `dreams can come true,— says Manley, who compet- ed in six World Championships, earn- ing the silver medal in Budapest, Hungary in 1988. Some of Manley's many accomplish- ments include: earn- ing over 50 National and International medals, competing in six World Championships, two Olympic Games, win- ning silver in 1988 in Calgary, Alta., along with earning Athlete of the Year for Canada in 1988. Manley stared in Ice Capades for five years, World Cup Champions on Ice for three years and also toured with the Champions on Ice Tour in the United States and the Skate the Nation Tour. She has earned the title of World Cup Champion four times and U.S. Open Champion twice. Manley's most pres- tigious honour was receiving "The Royal Order of Canada." Manley's off -ice accomplishments are also impressive, hav- ing three television specials, releasing two autobiographies "Thumbs Up — The Manley Story" and "Elizabeth Manley — As I Am" and having porcelain and vinyl dolls made after her. Throughout her professional career, Manley has also offered her support to several organizations and has been a moti- vational speaker for major companies close to her heart. Manley was the National Spokesperson for the Canadian Mental Health Association after going through her own depression. Recently, Manley also completed a National Media Tour for Wyeth across Canada, help- ing bring awareness to depression. Manley says going through her own bout of depression was "the best thing that ever happened to me," adding, "It allowed me to step back and take a look at the bigger picture, and just breathe." Manley says her depression was a blessing in disguise, making her take a look at how she was living. "I realized I could- n't make everybody happy. It was impossi- ble. I'd get so busy and I'd forget to take time out for me." Manley says she has gone through a "struggle of survival," and is now enjoying passing her experi- ence on to others, both on -ice and off- ice. "I want to be here for the kids to look up to," says Manley, explaining she is encouraging them to "speak up" about things happening in their lives. Recently, Manley moved to Ottawa from the United States, so she could be close to her mother and father, who are both battling illnesses. Manley is also get- ting involved with the Alzheimer Society, as this is also close to her heart with her father being diag- nosed with the dis- ease. Manley hopes to soon begin speaking on behalf of the Alzheimers Society. Since moving to Ottawa, Manley has continued coaching, something she began in 1999. Manley says she's happy to be back in Canada "among all of the Canadian kids." And one thing Manley says she'll always be is humble, explaining she's just like everyone else — achievements or not. "Never change. The day I start to change is the day I stop doing what I'm doing," says Manley.
