Help me to Ski race for Great Britian!

Who are we?

I'm 8year old Olive, better known as the skiing Olive. I adore skiing, you could say I've gotten pretty good at it! This year I became a double champion winning the English & British Schools championships. Take a look at my Instagram to see how hard I'm working!

Why are we crowdfunding?

There is an annual event held in The Netherlands, it's an international event where the best young ski racers from other lowland countries get to compete against each other and earn points for their represented countries towards the overall title. I will be racing in the U10F category in a slalom race. Unfortunately there is no funding available for me to travel to and enter the race. 

How we’ll spend the money raised

All funds raised will go towards the cost of the trip and the race. I would need to be there a few days prior for some training and practice sessions in order to give my best performance and do my country proud. We have the cost of travel, accommodation, coaching, lift passes and race entry fees to cover.

Community impact

GB has the potential to become a top competitive nation in alpine sports over the next few years, our senior athletes are doing better than ever and inspiring us younger athletes. For this to succeed we need your support.

How you can play your part

There are four simple ways to help us reach our target, and make this project a reality.

1. Make a pledge. Don’t delay if you’re going to support us because momentum is key to our success!

2. Spread the word. Share our project on your social media pages and tell the world to get behind us! The more people we reach, the more support we will get.

3. Offer rewards. Get involved if you are a local business by donating things we can offer to our supporters. We will give you a shout out!

4. Fundraise for us. If you want to run your own fundraiser – maybe a sponsored activity or similar – use the 'contact project' button at the top of our page to let us know. Setting up your own page only takes a few minutes and you won’t need any bank details. Just a fun idea!
