Fantastic Mars Milk Fund Opportunity for Athletes

Sofia Morton, a 16 year old Alpine Ski Racer from Manchester who trains at the ChillFactore Snowdome, is celebrating after receiving a £300 donation from the MARS Milk Fund.

Sofia says: “I am so excited to have been selected for the development group. Skiing is such an expensive sport and I can only compete if I self-fund all of my travel expenses and equipment. The award from the MARS Milk Fund will enable me to purchase new ski boots, which will really help improve my performance. I have had the same boots for four years now which is fairly long in competitive skiing as they need replacing frequently.”

A recent survey conducted by MARS Milk revealed that despite seven out of ten of us starting the week with intention of spending at least two hours on our favourite sport or hobby, cost and tiredness invariably put paid to these plans.

The MARS Milk Fund was set up to help individuals, clubs and groups to try something new or simply to spend more time playing their favourite sport or hobby. The MARS Milk Fund, runs until October 6 2013 and has five £300 awards to donate each week.

The fund is open to residents of, and clubs and organisations based in the UK and Republic of Ireland only. Applicants must be 13 years or over and only one application will be accepted per person, club or organisation.
