2018 Winter Olympic Athletes – Tax Deductible Donations needed!
Published Wed 14 Jun 2017
Callum Watson (XC Skiing), Barbara Jezersek (XC Skiing) and Damon Morton (Biathlon) are all aiming to be selected to represent AUS in PyeongChang. However to do so, they need to be in Europe training and accessing the best possible facilities and early snowfalls, as soon as possible after the Australian winter.
Your donation to their Australian Sports Foundation Individual Athlete Project will help them get there.

Both Callum and Barbara have Olympic Winter Games experience, with Callum representing Australia at Sochi in 2014 and Barbara competing at Vancouver in 2010 and Sochi in 2014. Excitingly for Australia, Barbara in 2018 will be skiing for Australia (previously Slovenia) having recently obtained her AUS citizenship.
For Damon Morton, PyeongChang (if selected) will be his Olympic debut at the young age of 21.
