For the fourth year running, Ford is supporting the Combined Services Disabled Ski Team (CSDST) by providing a new Transit minibus which will help them compete in international winter sports events.
The athletes of the CSDST are a part of the registered charity which provides ski-race coaching to serving members and veterans of the Armed Forces who have a permanent disability as a result of active service. Several of the members are double amputees, but with training and an abundance of personal determination, they compete year on year in international ski competitions. The team will use the nine-seat Transit Tourneo minibus to transport themselves and their equipment around the Alps; last year alone they covered almost 30,000 miles in their bus, winning gold and bronze medals in events along the way. They’re currently aiming to represent Great Britain in the 2014 Winter Paralympics in Sochi, Russia.
Ford of Britain production manager for Transit, David Petts, said;
‘Ford is very pleased to again assist the Combined Services Disabled Ski Team. The huge amount of effort from the team’s trainers and by team members themselves is a great inspiration.’
