Tracy Ferguson

"I cannot tell you how grateful I am for being selected one of the recipients for the Canadian Athletes Now Fund. The funding has had a huge impact on my ability to pay for the training I did pre-Beijing. Thank you for everything!"
Lascelles Brown
2006 Olympic Silver Medalist | Tow-Man Bobsleigh
"The Canadian Athletes Now Fund is providing money where others are not. As an amateur athlete striving to be the best in the World, I know how difficult it is when there is no money. The money I received from the Canadian Athletes Now Fund helped my family immensely. I have a wife who works full time and takes care of our 3 kids, with a 4th on the way. This money helped take some of the pressure off of her, and me and my entire family. It allowed me to be relaxed in my final weeks leading up to my event at the 2006 Torino Games, and it played it's part in helping me win a Silver Medal. Thanks Canadian Athletes Now Fund. You made a difference in my life."
Chris Daw
Motivational Speaker | Canadian Paralympic Wheelchair Curling Team | Gold Medalist/Paralympic Champion
"The Fund was a true source behind letting me fulfill my dream of capturing Gold at the Paralympic Games in Torino. Without the funds I received through this program I would not have been able to train or purchase the wheelchair which I needed in order to compete in the games. This fund was the catalyst to a journey which took me 22 years to complete. Having the funds available eased the stress so often related to preparing for the Paralympics. I wish to thank the Canadian Athletes Now Fund in making a dream come true and a fantasy fulfilled. It's all about passion. Play for the Love of the Game.
