Sponsor Raya Hubbell

Why you should sponsor me for your next influencer campaign?

 Growing up in Canada, Raya was a competitive ski racer with Olympic ambitions. In 2001 she tragically broke her back. It took nearly a decade of recovery physically and emotionally. In 2010 Raya's health took a turn once again firstly being diagnosed with cervical carinoma followed by contracting cerebral malaria and viral meningitis whist travelling in West Africa. And this followed another 4 year recovery. In 2014 Raya woke up and realised she was depressed, overweight nor did she like who she saw when looking in the mirror. She decided there and then she needed to do something about it. Raya started running - SLOWLY. To say she was unfit is an understatement. Raya soon realised that the impact of running on its own was going to be too tough given her past health history. She signed up to the local triathlon club. Got a bike and started to commute to and from work and learned to swim. She learned how to eat healthy and I cut out 'binge drinking' completely. I lost 12kgs in 18 months. Last year Raya competed in her very first half ironman triathlon (distance; swim 2km, bike 90km & run 21km) and came 19th! This year she succeeded this by completing the full distance ironman (double the distance of the half) in Mexico this November. Her greatest achievement to date is qualifying for the World championships in the middle distance in South Africa next year. Today Raya aims to inspire. She wants people to understand that there are no limits to what you can achieve no matter what life has thrown at you. If her story can help make those changes her journey will have been worth while. In this regard she would like to work with brands who have a similar mindset and values.
