Story

Hi my name is Jenny, I am 26 years old and when I was 17 I was involved in a road traffic accident and as a result acquired a traumatic brain injury. This changed my life forever. 
I have been in active rehabilitation since, and for the last 2 years have been skiing at Pembrey and am a founder member of Ski4All Wales.  I have also ski'd in Verbier twice with the Equinox ski gang & I loved every minute of it. Being part of Ski4All Wales has helped improve my physical ability, balance, coordination and my self belief. 
I am completing this challenge 'to give something back' to the ski club and to give other people who are not as able as myself the chance to enjoy skiing as much as I do. The money I help raise will hopefully buy a hoist at the ski centre. 
Thanks for your support 
Jenny Rogers

Hello
my name is Wynn Davies and I started skiing 3 years ago at the age of 56
I go to Pembrey dry ski slope every week and really love the speed and sensation of skiing.
I also really enjoy the companionship and banter with my instructors who realise and appreciate my need for speed!!
I had the opportunity to go on holiday to verbier this year. It took 3 days  to drive from pembrokeshire to Switzerland but it was a wonderful journey and a fantastic holiday. I went skiing everyday....nothing can beat the real thing!! 
I really hope you can support me & my ski buddies to help raise much needed funds to help buy much needed adaptive kit & train more volunteers!
See you on the slopes
Wynn
Hi my name is Chris Varney
I want to thank my Crazy adaptive ski buddy Dave for giving me the ability to experience the thrills of adaptive skiing.  I loved adventerous activities before I became ill & Ski club allows me to still enjoy them & share the experience with my other ski buddies. I love my Ski wednesdays..please help us raise as much money as possible so as to be able to help others feel what I feel when whizzing down the slopes!
Thankyou
Christopher. X
