Laura Berry and a number of other snowboarders are undertaking a sponsored snowboarding event this weekend at Xscape to raise money for a new English initiative to create an "English Snowboard Union" to match the Scottish team. The new organisation hasn't been officially launched yet, but you may have seen their stand at Board-X (with our nice photos on it). They need money to get it started and you can read more about it and pledge some cash to the good cause on the Forum.

Laura is a rather good snowboarder and did remarkably well in the recent AIM Series events, coming first in her age category throughout and also winning the overall women's titles in many of the events. She was also runner up in the UNION Snowboarding Awards Best Female Rookie Award. Show her some support if you can.
