Hello!

My name is Leanna Garcia and I am aspiring to become Spain's first female bobsledder to compete at the Winter Olympics, and first Spanish bobsledder to compete at the Olympics since 1968.

(If you already know my story - please scroll to bottom for expense examples)

Bobsleigh is a winter sport that I like to compare to F-1 racing. The athletes will push the sled to gain initial acceleration, jump into the sled, and then the pilot will steer the sled down an ice track moving at speeds of up to 150km/hr. This sport requires speed, power, mental focus and agility, as well as high quality equipment.

In my debut season as a pilot in 2024/2025, I made history for Spain as the first woman to compete at a World Championships. I also found myself on many podiums. This past season I found myself just a few points away from qualifying for the 2026 Olympic Games. Although I am heartbroken at this loss, I am incredibly proud to say that I was so close to making it to the Olympic games with only two years of driving experience. Some of the points I lost were due to equipment failures, which could have been prevented with more funding.

I am incredibly grateful for the support I am receiving from my federation, but due to the high costs of equipment, coaching and physiotherapy treatments, I will need the help of my community to get my team and I to the top level! Any and all donations are appreciated :) or simply sharing my page helps too.

Thank you for your support!
