Speedskating Skate-A-Thon

Speedskating has been my passion for six years. I started skating when I was nine and have skated with clubs in the US and France, training more and more intensively each year, training 3-4 hours per day, six days a week, with a goal for the Olympics in 2018. I am currently skating with Connecticut Speedskating Club and will be participating in a Skate-a-Thon on September 28, 2014. While my mom cringes when she thinks about it, speedskating is a very dangerous sport and we need special equipment to skate safely. The mats that keep us from slamming into the walls at 25 miles per hour are very expensive and we are in need of new ones for our club. On the 28th we will be devoting our training day to this fundraiser. Please support me in funding the purchase of this equipment and in supporting my long-term goals. 

CT Speedskating is  a non-profit charity and the funds will go directly to the club. Thank for your support!
