Lenny, is the youngest member of Canada's National Cross Country Ski Team. He has had success on the World Cup circuit, with 5 podiums so far. With those stellar results on the World Stage, he has pre-qualified to compete at the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia.
As excitement starts to build around the Olympics, we have planned a fundraiser for Lenny to help him pursue excellence for his country.
The event is called “The Snowball” because it takes a lot of snowflakes to make a snowball. The event will take place on Sat. Nov. 2, 2013 in Toronto. There will be a 4 course dinner, Jack Sasseville (former National Team coach and TV commentator) as the keynote speaker, a presentation from Lenny, live and silent auctions, prizes and a live band.
Skiing is Lenny's full time job, he trains and competes 11 months of the year. Beyond financial support, Lenny would benefit from knowing that people care and support his efforts.
Please consider joining “Team Lenny” by attending the Snow Ball or, if you cannot attend, by kindly making a donation to help Lenny stride to Sochi. Your support is greatly appreciated. The net proceeds from this event will be used exclusively to assist Lenny with the costs of coaching and training leading up to the 2014 Olympics and beyond!
There will be regular updates on Team Lenny's Facebook page www.facebook.com/teamlennyvaljas

Thanks for keeping the snowball rolling!
