Tassy's nomination story

I`m the youngest Sports Ambassador for Cornwall & have represented GB four times internationally as a member of the Junior British Surf Team. I hope to help Surfing achieve Olympic status by 2016 and I`m determined to become the first woman to represent her country in two Olympic sports - Surfing and Snowboarding. I do voluntary work to bring participation in these sports to inner city schools through street-skating and regularly blog and get involved with media/jounalists and educators to spread the word about the sporting lifestyle health and environmental benefits of being involved with surf skate and snow. I`m passionate about the benefits that these extreme sports in particular can bring to kids who`ve never even seen the sea or been up a mountain and I love competing and cross-training in any way I can to get people more engaged, more knowledgable, fitter and healthier.
