Story
I'm a British athlete competing in aerial skiing. I'm trying to raise some money to help me get to the World Championships in March 2013.
I did the training, learned the skills, went to competitions, got the scores and now wow, I’ve qualified for the 2013 World Championships in Voss, Norway -www.voss2013.no.
Aerials is on 6-7th March.
I’ve been selected and I’m part of the British Team. It is an exciting prospect, I’m ready to do it and keen to go. I’ll probably not win any medals but it is a big step in moving up the rankings and trying to qualify for the next Olympics.
The only problem now is getting the money together to go. I’m at school 6 days a week so just don’t have time to get a job. So I’m on a mission to raise the money to go. It isn’t so expensive if I only go for 5 nights; £700.
Cost breakdown.
- Flight to Bergen: £210
- 5 Nights official half-board: £340
- Transfer bus, entry fee, lunch: £150
However that is £700 I don’t have, and there isn’t any funding available from ‘above’, ie. British Ski and Snowboard, UKSport, BOA, Sport England, TASS etc.
I’ve got a month to get it together. Thank you if you can help.
