Overview

  • The Czech Ski and Snowboard Association has made public its bank details and appealed for donations to cover Tereza Nova’s ongoing medical expenses.
  • It seeded the campaign with a 300,000 CZK gift and urged fans to contribute directly to her intensive therapy costs.
  • Nova remains in intensive rehabilitation and uses a wheelchair after suffering life-threatening head and vascular injuries in a January Kandahar slope crash.
  • Government-backed medical funding for the 27-year-old’s treatment is scheduled to end in September, creating an urgent funding gap.
  • Family members and fellow athletes have highlighted her progress from being nonverbal in a coma to sending messages and sharing coffee in her wheelchair.
