Skipper's Story
"Point Impact has played a major role in supporting my fencing journey over the last few months now. Their support has helped remove some of the biggest financial hurdles that come with training and competing at a high level. Funding from Point Impact has eased the cost of lessons, equipment, and travel to national events—expenses that often make it difficult for athletes to fully commit to their craft.
Because of this assistance, I’ve been able to train more consistently with my coach, refine my technique, create my style, and gain valuable competition experience against some of the best fencers in the world. Attending more competitions and training camps has not only improved my ranking but also boosted my confidence on and off the piste.
This support has brought me closer to my ultimate goals—becoming a world champion and one day standing on the Olympic podium. Point Impact’s financial assistance for athletes, such as myself, makes those ambitions feel ever so closer each day. I’m deeply grateful for their commitment to removing my financial barrier and giving me the tools, opportunities, and encouragement to chase my dreams."
