Lauren Barwick to Tokyo Paralympics 2020..1

Hello, My name is Lauren Barwick a 4 time Canadian Paralympian looking forward to my 5th Paralympics in Tokyo Japan. During my career I have won a Gold and Silver Medal in the 2008 Games in Beijing, most recently a Silver and Bronze medal at the 2014 World Games in Normandy France. I am currently ranked Number One as a Canadian Para Equestrian rider, and I was honored with the Canadian Equestrian of the Year Award for 2008 and 2014, as well as inducted in the the Canadian Disability Hall of fame.

When I broke my back in 2000 and became paralyzed, I never thought I would ride or dance again. Horsemanship and competitive sport has given me my legs back, allowed me to see the world, and dance better then I ever could.

With the support of my friends and family, I have been able to pursue what I love, competing in Equestrianism at the highest level. I have had the opportunity to be able to take my love for horses into a carrier in horsemanship. To attend my 5th games which should have happened in 2020, however due to Covid we had an extra year added to our time line. There was quickly a realization of the financial hardship that comes with the territory of being a performance athlete, not just me but maintaining a competitive horse. I ask you to please support my goal and join me in making this games another to write home about.

The money raised will go toward travel and cost, coaching, equipment and making sure my horse Sandrino has the best sports therapy needed to perform at his best.

Every donation will be greatly appreciated. In return, I will be randomly selecting from the people to receive the below.

1) Ten postcards from Tokyo

2) Five 10 minute video coaching's

2) Two 30 minute phone call coaching assessments

I am looking forward to bringing all my supporters from around the world on a magical journey down the center line in the equestrian arena in Tokyo Japan

Uniting with my teammates to inspire and motivate the rest of the world to pursue personal excellence in each day.

You have to believe. "Why not me?"

Lauren
