“Please Join Me”: Lindsey Vonn Calls for Support As Skiing Legend Takes Huge Step for Underserved Girls

In an age where women are given equal rights and respect, there are still those burdened by the old ways. While they may not express themselves due to various reasons, it does not mean that they have lost their desire to chase their dreams. Alpine skiing athlete, Lindsey Vonn, who is considered the most decorated alpine skier in the United States, is an example of a woman who achieved her dream.

Lindsey often spoke out against sexism, body shaming, and unfair remuneration while active. However, she thought that was not enough, so she formed the Lindsey Vonn Foundation in 2010. Her Instagram threads post requested assistance.
