Very special shout out to Paula Martinez-Faccio for earning the 2021 Lauren Bernstein Award with her beautiful performance this weekend!
Battling with Tourette’s syndrome for the past year, Paula has become an inspiration to all of her teammates and coaches just by showing up everyday. Watching her compete this weekend was a moving experience for each of us.
Paula- you have amazed everyone with your tenacity and perseverance. Always pushing towards your goals, even on the worst of days. Showing us the true value of figure skating. You said you wouldn’t let Tourette’s control your life, and we are so proud to see you doing just that— taking control of your destiny and still doing what you love. No doubt, YOU ARE OUR CHAMPION!!!
🥲❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️⛸
