Carson Marcoux, 17 years old, of Balmoral, is attempting to qualify as a member of the national fencing team for the 2012 London Olympic Games.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1378910\" data-originallang=\"fr\">A resident of a town with a population of approximately 1,800 located in northern New Brunswick, Carson has decided to live with his family in his region while competing around the world.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1378911\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Carson is also a pianist and devoted to his community. He has proven to everyone that although he lives in a rural area where fencing is not the sport of choice, it is possible to be one of the best.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1378912\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Carson was one of two young Canadians who participated in the Beijing 2008 Olympic Youth Camp. Madawaska\u2014Restigouche supports he has in himself his Olympic dream and we are proud of the faith you have in yourself.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1378913\" data-originallang=\"fr\">We thank you to the village of Balmoral, the volunteer firefighters and especially to his family, who is behind him all the way in his search for an Olympic dream.</p>",
