<div>Hi, my name is Aísling, I am 15 years old and I am a figure skater from North Devon. I train 4 times a week at Bristol Ice Rink even though I live in North Devon which is 1 hour 30mins away from Bristol, so a 3 hour round trip.
</div>
<div>I wake up at 3.30am to train as my practice ice time starts at 6am and we live so far away.
</div>
<div>I have worked my way to Level 7 in Free Skating which is called Junior level and I will be competing next season 2025-26 all over the country as a Level 6 Advanced Novice competitor. There are only 8 levels until you become a senior skater and therefore the highest level you can be. That is my aim next year.
</div>
<div>I started to compete nationally in October 2023 and won my first competition at National Level 2 against 28 competitors from around the UK. I won at the BIS Open in Sheffield at National Level 5 (Intermediate Novice) in March 2025 and I also won gold at the Guildford Open in May. I recently qualified for the BIS Championship qualifiers and will compete in March, August and October where I will attempt to secure a place at the British Championships in November 2026. I love competing and although I feel a little nervous beforehand, I just love the pressure of competing in front of a crowd and a panel of judges. I thrive during these moments and can’t wait to compete again next season.
</div>
<div>I would like to become an elite figure skater and be a competitor at Grand Prix events, World Championships and the Olympics. I love skating and feel such a connection to the ice, I could not imagine doing anything else for my future career.
</div>
<div>I attended international skating camps in Europe during summer 2024 and 2025. These experiences helped my skills to progress so much and I would like to go again next year to continue my progression.
</div>
<div>As winter sports are not well funded here in the UK, it is better to train at facilities in Europe if possible with coaches who have international experience.
</div>
<div>Figure skating is a very expensive sport with my boots costing £500 each time and blades also £500 these are replaced when my feet grow even the tiniest bit or after approximately 9months of training. Lessons are £25-40 for 30mins and currently I have 5-6 lessons a week. Accessing ice is £85 per month. Plus the cost of travelling 3hours to get to the rink and home. Competition dresses are £500 per dress with level 6 being two routines (so needing two dresses). Competition entries are £100-£150 to enter plus we have to be there early so often stay overnight.
</div>
<div>This means that continuing on my journey to progress up the skating levels is virtually impossible without the kindness of businesses, individuals or charitable organisations to help me in my journey. If anyone feels they are able to give anything towards my fundraiser it would be so greatly appreciated and would help me continue in my quest to become an elite figure skater and achieve my full potential. You may see me one day at the Winter Olympics with the knowledge that you helped me to get there!!
</div>
