As my sport isn't fully funded by the Canadian Snowboard team, it is up to me to pay my flights, accommodations and competitions fees. In a sport where training is often done abroad, the expenses can bet pretty hefty. In 2019, with the help of my sponsors, I was able to hold a fundraising dinner to help with the costs of a season, which helped enormously.
Although I have achieved international podiums, funding is still hard, as any amateur athlete could tell you and it's something that weighs heavy on us.
This is why any donation helps. It’s never taken for granted.
Can't participate in my fundraiser, but wish to support me? Here's your chance!
