Description
An intimate meet-and-greet with me
I've come this far. Help me find out how far I can go.
What does it take to turn a childhood dream into a real shot at the Paralympic Games?
Join me for an intimate afternoon to hear my story, from growing up in Colombia, born without my left leg, to pursuing an ambitious goal: representing Australia at the 2030 Winter Paralympics.
I only started skiing in 2025. In just one season, I progressed from a complete beginner to an internationally ranked athlete and earned an invitation to the Snow Australia Emerging Talent Program.
Now, the next chapter begins.
I'm working towards an international training and racing block in the United States in 2027. This is a crucial opportunity to develop my skills, gain international racing experience, and take another step towards 2030.
But getting to the international start gate takes more than hard work on the slopes. It takes a community willing to get behind the journey.
Be part of my journey
My Australian Sports Foundation campaign aims to raise $15,000 to help fund his international training and racing campaign in the United States in 2027.
Every contribution, large or small, helps bring this opportunity closer. If you can't donate, sharing the campaign and spreading the word can make a difference too.
This isn't just about helping one athlete travel overseas. It's about giving a determined athlete the opportunity to discover how far he can go.
I've come this far. Help me find out how far I can go.
