A few weeks ago I found out that my application to the Chill
Factore (the indoor ski slope in Manchester where I train) for
sponsorship had been successful. Last night I had a meeting with the Chill
Factore during which I received my sponsored athlete jacket, had my
photo taken with the other sponsored athletes for the year, and was given
information about what this entails.
I am very thankful for the opportunities both the Chill
Factore and the Disability Snowsport UK base there have given me,
without them I may never have learnt to ski again after my HSP took away the
use of my legs, and I certainly wouldn’t have been aiming to ski in the
Paralympics one day.
The help given to me by both the Chill Factore and
DSUK has meant that I have gone from this…
to this.
Skiing has given me back a sense of freedom that my wheelchair can’t, and has massively helped me to accept my disability. Thank you
very much to both the Chill Factore and Disability Snowsport UK, I
am very proud to represent you.
