Help fulfill Dream for Down Under
Hello Everybody;
My son Dymond Kostenko has been an avid runner for Las Plumas High Cross Country and Track & Field for the last 3 yrs. He is now a junior. Dymond was just awarded Impact Athlete honors on the 2017 California All-State Track and Field. And as a recipient of this honor, Dymond has been invited to represent the great state of California on the Pacific Conference Track & Field Team at the 17th annual Down Under International Games hosted in Australia this summer for 9 days. The total cost of the trip is $4,699, which includes every single thing except for lunches, $288 for insurance, passport and luggage. This would mean EVERYTHING to my son. Dymond has a major dream and goal to not only succeed in running but to make a career out of it. His Sophmore year he made it to State for Cross Country and has won numerous medals and awards for both Cross Country and Track & Field. After Dymond graduates next year he wants to continue running for the Oregon Ducks and make it to the 2020 Olympics. This is only the beginning of the journey for an amazing young man, who spends literally all his free time running, working out and watching motivational videos.
My family and I will be forever greatful to anyone out there reading this, if you are able to donate anything at all. It doesn't matter how much anything will help us. I have 2 other boys that are in sports as well and can barely get what all 3 of the boys need throughout the year as they play multiple sports. Again, thank you so much and may god bless every one of you.
