Hello! My name is Judy, and I’m the proud parent of Tristam Henkels, U.S. halfpipe snowboarder.

Tristam has dedicated years of his life to mastering the sport he loves. From the first time he strapped on a snowboard, his passion, determination, and talent have been undeniable. Now, at just 16 years old, he is continuing to push himself to the highest levels of competition with his sights set firmly on the next Winter Olympics.

As Tristam progresses on his Olympic journey, the commitment required only grows. Competing at an elite level means year-round training, traveling nationally and internationally for competitions, maintaining top-tier equipment, and working with experienced coaches to stay at peak performance. The financial demands of pursuing a spot on Team USA add up quickly and continue throughout the entire Olympic cycle.

Why Your Continued Support Matters:

• Covering year-round travel and lodging for national and international competitions

• Funding equipment, training camps, competition entry fees, and coaching expenses

• Supporting strength, conditioning, recovery, and sport-specific development

• Allowing Tristam to stay fully focused on training and competing without financial stress

This journey to the next Winter Olympics is not a single moment — it’s years of dedication, sacrifice, and relentless effort. Every contribution, no matter the size, plays a meaningful role in helping Tristam continue climbing toward that Olympic stage and representing Team USA with pride.

Your support is more than a donation — it’s an investment in a young athlete’s dream and in the future of American snowboarding.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in Tristam and being part of his journey. Together, we can help carry him all the way to the next Winter Olympics.

With gratitude,

Judy
