Donate & Fundraise

Please contact shaloheat@hotmail.com if you are interested in donating, helping, supporting, sponsoring, or purchasing ad-space on SSW. Thanks to everyone supporting Speed Skate World and my dreams of racing and reporting from the front line and beyond.

Why support SSW & Peter Doucet?

  • Over 1000 hours of volunteer work/ year are put into SSW
  • I train about 1000 hours of training/ year
  • You can help make SSW a better source of reporting & news & much more
  • You’ll feel good donating to a worthy cause
  • I work very very very hard on SSW & in my training- donations help when times are tough and things are looking ‘down’
  • Sponsorship & support opportunities are very limited
  • You have my committment to my training & racing & to SSW- 100%
  • Support me as an underfunded athlete to train & compete- there is no funding available from Roller Sports Canada
  • Helps SSW spread its wings and expand, travel to certain events where I can report live
  • Your donations are the main source of income for me as an athlete & SSW as a website

If I support SSW & Peter Doucet, where does the money go??

  • airline tickets to events for i) racing, ii) covering the events on SSW
  • massage therapy & physiotherapy
  • healthy food & supplements for competition & training
  • entry fees & possible WIC team fees (yes, I’d like to have a WIC team)
  • hotel accomodations- including at the World Championships
  • equipment such as camera, computer, memory cards- they really help making videos faster
  • internet fees

  • racing equipment- wheels, bearings, frames, skates, costumes
  • promotion of SSW & Speed Skating
  • gas for travel to events
  • medical expenses & immunizations
  • helping off-set the cost of not working full a full time job

2008 Fundraising Drive
I will be having a Speed Skate World fundraising drive in June 2008. It will last one week. Funds that are raised will go to purchase a new camera, racing expenses, website expenses, equipment, and possible travel to ice & roller events for reporting purposes. Stay tuned for more.

PayPal Donations
Speed Skate World takes hours and hours to maintain. Donations will help keep SSW going strong. Donations are needed to pay for services, travel to key events for reporting, and to help decrease the financial burden of spending upwards of 8 hours per day to maintain SSW.

Official Canada Suit
The Official Canada Suits can now be purchased from Il Peloton. The Official Canada Suit was one of two winning designs in the Design Canada! Contest.  $20 from each suit sold will be donated to the 2008 Canadian World Team athletes. Canadian World Team athletes are responsible for the costs of representing Canada at the World Roller Speed Skating Championships. The costs can run upwards of $4000 per athlete.

    When do you intend to skate in the WIC or have you WIC team or skate in the WIC with your team?

    Hi Rm- good question.

    I am contemplating World Inline Cup/ Europe training for this summer.

    I would love to be involved in running a WIC team. I don’t think there is very realistic chance of this happenning this season though.
