The “fairytale” continues
At the end of last season everything looked quite bad to continue my career as Red Bull cut their wings. After a month of long thoughts what shell I do, I felt that I have some unfinished business in slalom. So the decision was made: I go fully for slalom!
I made public in Slovenia that I have really big financial problem as my biggest sponsor pulled away because of the change in the policy. Many people decided to support me with donations on my web and I have no words to say thank you, as they gave me not only some financial contribution, but they also gave me new motivation and showed me I am on the right way and I should not stop yet. The list of those fantastic people can be found on my web; www.tineslabe.com/donatorji .
I really worked hard for four long months in the uncertainty if I will be able to make the season 2009 or not, but I always believed that I will find a sponsor. I sent out hundreds of email, applications and I spoke to almost everyone I know. A week ago I manage to conclude a new deal and my fate was paid back. I am proud to present my new financial sponsor that will support me in the fast upcoming season: Birt Marketing. At this point I would like to thank them for the shown support and I will do everything to make some good results in 2009.
