Let it snow!

Following today's public announcement, I am pleased to personally congratulate Margarita Gorbounova on being chosen as this year's recipient of the T-Base Blind or Partially Sighted Athletic Sponsorship.      

Margarita is a partially sighted cross-country skier who, with the assistance of a guide, competes in a number of distance races ranging from sprint, (1 km), all the way to long distance (15 km). While she has raced competitively and performed well in both Canadian and European competitions, Margarita admits that she has her real sights set on representing Canada at the next winter Paralympics in British Columbia, Canada.

This year's pool candidates demonstrated once again the high calibre of blind and partially sighted athletes that are training, competing and proving successful in a wide variety of sports. We are excited at the momentum this sponsorship has gained, and enjoy following their journeys.
