Help Spark Ellysium Racing in 2019!

Donation protected
BORN WITH IT.

I’ve been in love with racing for as long as I can remember. From naming the make and model of every car on the road when I was two to hopping on anything with wheels, I have always felt that when I’m racing, everything feels right. Racing touches every part of my life— school, fitness, travel, and hobbies.

This year has been really exciting already, and lots has happened. Check it out:

- I attended the Lucas Oil Race School  beginner Open Wheel Clinic in July (and went 120mph!)
- I finished 12th IN THE NATION in the American eKarting Championship  in Chicago after I cinched the championship at my home track . I was the youngest competitor and won Facebook Fan Favorite!
- I've been invited as one of only 8 drivers to compete in the Play & Drive Pirelli eKart Championship  in Alcaniz Spain this October!
- I've also been invited to the LucasOil Scholarship Shootout  in Sebring, FL this December

While I'm seeking out local sponsors to support racing costs, friends and family can also have the opportunity to support me as I get out on the track. No donation amount is too small-- it all adds up!

The total cost for the 2019 karting season is approximately $25k. I'll be using sponsorship and donation funds for the following:

- Play & Drive Pirelli eKart Championship in Alcañiz, Spain $3k in race fees & $3k in travel
- Lucas Oil Scholarship Shootout $5k in race fees & $2k in travel, $3K in practice clinic fees
- Building an electric kart from the ground up ($7500 investment) & creating an EcoRally in Hoboken in 2020!

Have something to donate like a service or item? Are you a mechanic or race enthusiast? Have a connection to a sponsor or some race gear? Just email me at [email redacted].

You can also check out my site, Ellysium Racing to see my current stats, season updates, and some photos & videos of me on the track. Finally, be sure to follow me on Instagram  and Twitter  for all the updates!

I believe electric is the future for performance and the planet. 
I hope to become a FormulaE or GTe driver. Thank you for checking out my site and learning my story. Hold on tight. We’re going places, fast.
