<div>Hi everyone!
</div>
<div>I’m Cynthia Appiah, Olympian and proud bobsleigh pilot representing Canada on the world stage. I’ve competed at the Olympic Games, stood among the world’s best, and continue to chase the dream of standing on the Olympic podium at the Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> <strong>My Journey</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As Canada’s top bobsleigh driver, I’ve dedicated my life to this sport; a sport that demands speed, precision, and relentless determination. Despite immense challenges, I’ve continued to push the limits.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This past March, I finished 4th at the World Championships in Lake Placid, NY, proving that with the right support, I have what it takes to bring home a medal for Canada in 2026.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> <strong>The Challenge</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Over the last two seasons, the Canadian bobsleigh team has faced major funding losses, forcing athletes to personally cover the rising costs of competition and travel. Every training camp, sled part, and trip to Europe comes straight from our own pockets — and it’s becoming unsustainable.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To stay competitive at the world level, I need help covering the essential costs of my Olympic season.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> <strong>Where Your Support Goes</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your generous donations will directly fund the tools and travel I need to compete against the best in the world:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Expenses (CAD)</strong>
</div>
<div><em>2 Sets of Bobsleigh Runners:	</em>$20,000
</div>
<div><em>European Van Rental (for training &amp; races):</em>	$9,500
</div>
<div><em>Team Fees (travel, accommodations, flights, ice time):</em>	$25,500
</div>
<div><strong><span class="ql-cursor">﻿</span>Total Goal:</strong>	$55,000
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every dollar raised goes straight toward helping me get back to the start line — faster, stronger, and ready to bring home Olympic gold.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> <strong>Why It Matters</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Bobsleigh isn’t just about speed — it’s about teamwork, precision, and grit. It’s a sport where hundredths of a second decide champions. With the right equipment and support, I can close that tiny gap between 4th place and the podium.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donation, big or small, directly fuels that mission.
</div>
<div>You’ll be part of Canada’s Olympic story — helping an athlete fight through adversity to represent our nation with pride.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> <strong>How You Can Help</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Donate: </strong>Every bit helps me reach Milano-Cortina.
</div>
<div>Share: Spread the word with friends, family, and coworkers.
</div>
<div>Follow My Journey: I’ll be posting regular updates, videos, and race results so you can see exactly where your support is taking me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>❤️ Thank You
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m endlessly grateful for everyone who has cheered, supported, and believed in me so far. With your help, I’ll be able to push off that start block knowing an incredible community stands behind me — all the way to the 2026 Olympic Games.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Together, let’s make this run count.
</div>
<div> See you at the top of the track!
