The Derick Hinch Pole Fund

My name is Derick Hinch and I am an Elite Pole Vaulter. I have been vaulting for almost 8 years now and have always had one dream, to represent the United States of America in the Olympics. I'm not normally one to ask others for help, but training to become an Olympic athlete while trying to make ends meet is a very hard task. While jumping has been going awesome this year I have run into the problem of not having the right equipment/Poles to perform at my best. That is why I am here asking you for your help. Any donations would be greatly appreciated! Pole Vaulting poles are very expensive, some are over 500 dollars
each! Once I raise enough money I will be able to get a new 5 meter (16'5'') series of poles. Having these poles will allow me to hold higher and in turn jump much higher. Over the last 8 years friends and family have asked if there was anything they could do to help with making my dreams a reality, well here is your chance. Once again all donations are appreciated and I am beyond thankful for all the support I have gotten over the years. Thank you all and God bless.
