The impact that AFPST has had on my life since injury has been immeasurable. From beginner skier to Paralympic athlete and triple World Championships medallist in just a few years, it has been an incredible journey and one that would not have been possible without the support, expertise and encouragement of this amazing charity. Learning to ski was a pivotal moment in my recovery, showing me that it was still possible to achieve despite injury but the effects of my involvement with AFPST have extended far beyond the ski slopes into just about every area of my life, giving me the confidence to achieve things I never dreamed of.

The trek to Everest Base Camp, with its unforgiving terrain and extreme altitude, will be my biggest physical challenge to date since amputation, but more importantly than the personal challenge, it will be a way for me to give something back to a group that has given me so much. It is a way to raise awareness of this fantastic charity and to also hopefully raise some much-needed funds for AFPST to continue their amazing work. Your contribution will go a long way towards enabling others to rebuild their lives post-injury and to benefit from the same incredible opportunities that I have been so fortunate to have experienced.

The challenge......an extraordinary endeavor that will be a feat of human power and determination as a fearless group of twenty indomitable Armed Forces Para-Snowsport Team (AFPST) athletes and dedicated staff take on an arduous expedition to conquer the renowned Everest Base Camp in May 24. The magnitude of this endeavor cannot be understated, as it will test their physical and mental strength to the very core. But their unwavering mission transcends personal achievements and aspires to raise significant funds, to ensure AFPST continues to empower our deserving athletes and propel them forward..

Thank you for your support 😊
