    ABOUT Amber Essex

    From the moment I first strapped on a snowboard at age 8, my dream has always been clear: to represent Australia at the Olympic Games. Snowboarding has shaped my life, and every race, from the Australian Interschools Championships to the Youth Olympic Games, has driven me closer to that goal.

    Now, as I prepare for my third World Cup season with the Australian Snowboard Cross team, my sights are firmly set on making my Olympic debut at Milano Cortina 2026. But reaching that goal requires more than just passion and talent-  it takes intense dedication, relentless training, and significant financial support.

    This is where you can make a difference. The cost of competing at the highest level is substantial, including travel, accommodation, and training across Europe, Asia, and North America. With your support, I can focus on what matters most: my training and racing. Your donation will directly fund my flights, travel to training camps, and participation in key international events, giving me the best chance to qualify for the Australian Winter Olympic Team.

    Every contribution, no matter the size, is an investment in my journey and helps bring the Olympic dream within reach. Your support will not only help me get to the start line but also ensure that I can give my best performance every time I race.

    Thank you for joining me on this journey. Together, we can turn this dream into reality.
