As many know, field hockey is a major part of my life. I have been selected by USA Athletes International to play on an elite 16 player roster this summer in an international sporting event. From June 6th to June 18th I will be playing field hockey on this elite team in Melbourne, Australia where I will be playing teams from various nations around the world. This an amzing experience for myself to see life outside of the United States, as well promote international friendships and goodwill among nations all while doing what I love (playing field hockey!!) The cost of this opportunity is fairly high and I will be fundraising extensively. Any donation would greatly benefit myself, my team, and our organization's ability to represent the USA in this international sporting and cultural event.
