<div>Hello Friends,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>UPDATE: Due to my Mom’s health, I was unable to train and compete this year.  I’m looking onto the games in 2030.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m Eric LeMarque, and I’m excited to share my journey with you. My path has been shaped by a remarkable survival story, and today, I stand as a testament to the strength and inspiration of the human spirit.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My journey began with a challenging ordeal, having lost my Olympic feet to frostbite. This experience transformed my life and fueled my determination to achieve something truly unprecedented: <strong>to be the first person ever to compete in both the able-bodied Winter Olympics and the Winter Paralympics in different sports.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In 1994, I had the honor of competing in ice hockey at the Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway. Now, I am setting my sights on the 2026 Winter Paralympics in Milano Cortina, where I aim to compete in border-cross snowboarding. This would make me the first to cross over into these elite arenas in two distinct sports.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To turn this dream into reality, <strong>I need support for travel, expenses, and essential equipment to qualify for the Paralympics.</strong> Your contribution will not only help me reach this goal but also allow me to spread a message of hope and perseverance. Despite the obstacles, I am committed to snowboarding up to 100 times each season to qualify and strive for victory.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am deeply grateful for any support you can provide. Your assistance will help me show that with determination and resilience, we can overcome even the greatest challenges and achieve our dreams.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you or someone you know is going through a tough time, I am here to offer support and inspiration. Feel free to reach out to me via email. I’m also available for Zoom or in-person presentations to inspire and mentor individuals, teams, and organizations.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I plan to use the money to buy alpine feet, get professional training, and for travel and entry fee prior to making the national team.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for considering this opportunity to be part of my journey.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Warmest regards,
</div>
<div>Eric LeMarque
