Help Taylor Pursue Paralympic Snowboarding

Hey friends!

I'm Taylor Layle, and I am currently training for the 2026 Paralympic Games! Last year was my first training season with Adaptive Action Sports in Silverthorne, Colorado. I am now beginning my second training season and am excited to get to work!

Snowboarding is a very time-consuming commitment as well as very physically demanding, especially for someone with a disability such as myself. I would be very grateful for any financial support you could provide to help me continue this season and work towards my dream of competing in the Paralympics!

All funds raised here will go towards training and prosthetic expenses such as: coaching expenses, travel expenses, lodging at competitions, flights to competitions, competition entry fees, snowboarding-specific prosthetic feet and maintenance, and any other competition or medical equipment expenses that appear.

If you don't know my story, my right leg was amputated below-the-knee in 2018, and my left leg was amputated below-the-knee in 2019. I was born with club feet, and I began to have many painful complications as I got older. I was mostly wheelchair-bound due to pain by age 16, and by age 19 had my first foot removed. This has been a journey I never expected to have, but it has been rewarding in so many more ways than it has been painful. I am grateful to have experienced everything I have at such a young age and to now be able to use my experiences to help others.

My dream of competing in the Paralympics is both personal and relational. I have always been athletic and enjoyed sports teams. This is a personal goal of mine to show that I can overcome my physical barriers and strive to work towards a goal while living a healthy lifestyle. In a relational sense, I want to do this to inspire other people, with or without disabilities, that when you set your mind to something, you can achieve it! Having a great support system, mental and physical strength, and remembering your purpose are ways that you can overcome any challenge! I hope my journey inspires people to chase their dreams, find their purpose, and lean on God.

I again want to thank everyone for their financial and emotional support as I embark on this journey! I will continue to update everyone on my progress, and thank you again!!! Let's kick off a great season! (pun intended)
