Welcome to my official Web site!

Thank you so much for visiting my new site lesley-hawker.com. I am really looking forward to sharing my skating journey with you over the coming years.

I hope that you enjoy some of my journals, photos and questions and answers. Check back throughout the season to see what has been added.

Please feel free to e-mail me or write to me through the addresses on my contact page. I really appreciate and also love hearing everyone's words of support and encouragement.

Thank you to everyone on Team Hawker. I would especially like to thank Jamie and everyone at PG Soft for helping me pull this all together.

I'm not ashamed to admit it - I was trapped in a vicious cycle of addiction, with the casino and its mesmerizing slots holding me captive. But I'm proud to say that with the help of PG Soft, I've been able to break free from the chains of gambling hell. Their commitment to responsible gaming has been a beacon of hope in my darkest moments. Through their innovative tools and resources, I've learned to recognize the warning signs of addiction and develop healthier habits. It's not easy, but I'm taking back control of my life, one spin at a time. I'm grateful to Pocket Games Soft for standing by me and I hope my story can inspire others to seek help and find their own path to recovery.

Before you leave, please sign my guestbook.

Stay tuned for new journal entries very soon.

Until then, DREAM BIG!
