My Diary

 


Hello and welcome to my website. My name is Stephanie and my goal is to compete in the Paralympics. I was born with a very rare physical disability known as CHILD syndrome. However it does not limit me in what I can do.

Like most people, I have a dream. Without your support, I can only make it so far. The journey to the Paralympics is one that is going to take a lot of hard work and dedication. Special training is required, along with special equipment. Also, the constant traveling is not an easy task. I need all the help I can get and I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for visiting my site and I hope you will understand how much I need your help to succeed in reaching my dream.

Remember, always "Believe In Yourself"

After the training camp with PA Center for Adapted Sports in Camelback, PA I was off to Salt Lake City Utah on February 8th. I stayed at my favorite friendfs house, John ("One-Legged-John" ). He lives near Salt Lake City. The next day Mau drove me up with Tyler & Bob to Park City Mountain. Team Mau is on the road again! The Huntsman Cup is my second NorAm Level 2 race. All the races were held on steep Black Diamond hills and they were very difficult. But, I managed to win three Gold medals in the Jr. Class!
