Spirit FM Local Hero Awards 2012

posted 20 Oct 2012 07:05 by Yaz Cooper   [ updated 20 Oct 2012 07:10 ]

I had the privilage of attending the Spirit FM Local Hero Awards on 19/10/12 and it was a pleasure to receive the award for Child Achievement for my efforts in skiing.  I also received a cheque for my chosen charity/community group from Spirit FM on behalf of Sponsor TJ Waste, the company supporting this category.  I have chosen the Skiers Club of Great Britain and Chichester Youth Wing Canoe and Kayaking Club to receive the donations.  It was an amazing evening and I would like to thank Spirit FM, Terry and Lynn from TJ Waste for their hospitality at the dinner table and Matt Cardle (X Factor) for presenting me with my cheque.  It was truly a memorable evening and I am in awe of all the other winners in all the other categories for their achievements and braveness.

Wiley Book Publishers - New Sponsor

posted 27 Aug 2012 03:22 by Yaz Cooper   [ updated 27 Aug 2012 05:04 ]

I would like to say a huge THANK YOU to Wiley, a Book publishing company which is based locally to me for their generous contribution towards my training costs.  The interest of all my sponsors, supporters and family is so important, as without this it would be impossible to achieve my goals.  In return I will train as hard as I can and race as fast as I can to achieve this.

1st in Super G at British Alpine Championships at Meribel

What a great way to finish the season - I considered this to be one of my best  achievements of the year, I wasn't expecting such a good time,  all I wanted to do was just make sure I completed the course, all the way down I was just thinking absorb and extend the rollers, but to win the title topped off my season.
