Olympic support
Summerland’s Stephanie Rhodes-Bosch has qualified for the 2012 London Olympics after placing ninth at the World Championships last year. She is continuing to prepare for the Games with a trip to the UK in April. Rhodes-Bosch is receiving funds from the Canadian Equestrian team, but needs to raise about $7,000 in the next few weeks to cover the remainder of the shipping and accomodation costs. By going to www.stephanie-rhodes-bosch.com, donations can be made to support Rhodes-Bosch.
