Ivy Walker – Vision-Impaired Skier

Ivy Walker, age 13, is an inspiring, vision-impaired skier and current National Div 3 champion. Ivy is passionate about skiing and dedicated to representing Australia on the international stage, aiming to wear the green and gold in global competitions and 2030 Paralympics. She also actively participates in blind cricket, athletics, and rock climbing, showing a deep commitment to excelling in various sports and promoting inclusion.

Why We Need Your Support: Skiing at a competitive level is challenging and costly, especially for a vision-impaired athlete. Ivy requires a VI (Vision-Impaired) guide to train and compete safely and effectively. The funds raised will cover the costs of:

VI Guide Expenses: A trained guide who assists Ivy on the slopes, enabling her to ski confidently. The guide’s role is crucial for safety and performance.

Snow Sports Training: Access to high-quality training facilities, coaching, and specialised equipment tailored for VI athletes, allowing Ivy to continue improving her skills.

Competition Fees: Entry fees for competitions, along with travel and accommodation expenses, which enable Ivy to compete on national platforms, building her experience and aiming to achieve her dream of representing Australia.

How Your Support Will Make a Difference: Every contribution brings Ivy closer to achieving her dreams and paves the way for future vision-impaired athletes in winter sports. Your donation will empower Ivy, help her access the necessary resources, and inspire others with disabilities to pursue their passions.

Join Team Ivy! With your support, Ivy can continue to shine on the slopes and work toward her ultimate goal of proudly representing her country.
