Most people will never have to go through even one of the traumas that Cassie Cava has had to.

Born with club foot, Cassie endured countless operations as a child and in 2014 had to have one of her legs amuptated below the knee. She worked incredibly hard to learn to walk again, and as soon as she could she got on the slopes. Sport was a focus Cassie had to do the things that were so difficult before the amputation.

Cassie was selected for Team GB in both para snowboarding and triathlon.
While training, Cassie opened up about a serious sexual assault that had taken place in 2013 before her amputation. Whilst in Europe, a group of men raped Cassie as she walked home one evening. She told her teams and her family and friends that she was suffering with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). While the triathlon team were incredibly supportive, British Parasnowsport were far from it. It has been widely reported that Cassie has made formal accusations of bullying and discrimination against British Parasnowsport and there is now an investigation ongoing into the behaviour of those at British Parasnowsport.

Meanwhile, Cassie has been left with nothing. Everyday she suffers horrendous flashbacks of the attack that have driven her to several suicide attempts. Currently, Cassie is in hospital fighting with everything she's got. But after all of this, she hasn't got a lot left.

Uk Sport will no longer fund Cassie, and so she has lost the insurance that was her lifeline. The NHS has had its mental health services cut to such an extent that they cannot provide the help she needs.

Her only chance is for us to raise funds for private care.

Please help me to raise the funds needed to provide Cassie with the inpatient care she so desperately needs and deserves.
