Whats up NS, I could really use your help, already posted this in NSG but I'm hoping it'll get a bunch more attention here! ITS THE LAST DAY OF THE CONTEST and its getting really close, do me a big favour and go vote!

My sister has been nominated for IPC athlete of the month and I would be stoked if you took a minute of your time to vote for her.

The International Paralympic Committee has an athlete of the month every month, recently my sister was competing at a NORAM race in Copper Colorado, and she absolutely dommed everyone and took home 4 Gold Medals!

This is her first successful season back after a terrible leg break 3 years ago, she had to have it rebroken because it didn't set right, have 2 surgeries, and was in a wheelchair for a whiiile, she has worked so hard for the past 3 YEARS to get here and nobody deserves it more than her!

Guys she's so close, I know you can do this NS!

Back by 10 votes right now, lets put her ahead again.

+Karmaaaaa
 
Just a question, is she only a temporary paralympian and her leg will heal completely later on, or not? I'm not too familiar with how one is qualified to represent in the paralympics.
 
Its not her leg, she's a left arm amputee. If you look in the picture you might notice her left arm looks a little odd, which is because its about 60% plastic. : )

(probably should have specified this in the OP lol)

She competes in the standing category along with all other standing skiers except those who are visually impaired, who have their own category. Sitting skiers also have their own category.
 
Oookay, from that picture I didn't notice at all (and didn't even think due to the leg break thing). Let's hope she wins.
 
Woooo!

Thanks everyone, the Poll closed yesterday and she won by 70 votes!

She will be super stoked to have won this, and it'll be a nice step forward for her career. Much love NS, this website is fucking awesome!
