Send Elijah Joyce to Nat'l JO Track Meet

Help send our 10 year old son, Elijah Joyce to the USA Track & Field National Championships in on July 22-28, 2013. This was a unexpected accomplishment and blessing for our son, Elijah. He is a hardworking, dedicated young athlete who aspires to become a world class athlete one day. Eli trains with great intensity and purpose 4-5 days a week, averaging 10-15 hours weekly since the beginning of January this year. His dream is to be nationally ranked for his age group in either 400M run or the Long Jump.

Eli represents North County Jaguars Track Club of Escondido, CA. He has set goals for every meet to achieve faster times and longer distances in his events, which he has consistently achieved. His journey has taken him through a series of developmental events consisting of preliminary, association, and Regional meets that earned him two spots for Nationals. Eli will represent North County Jaguars in the 400M run and the Long Jump. Qualifying for two events at his age and division is not common and quite an accomplishment at this level.

Please take part in helping Eli continue his journey to becoming an elite athlete by donating toward his expenses. Donations will be for transportation, hotel accommodations, meals, and any unforeseen fees for registration for this 7 day national event. No donation is too small!!

We are proud of Elijah Bachman Joyce, a true blessing to us, a young boy who loves the Lord and always gives glory to God for his accomplishments. His favorite verses reminds him to be grounded and not puffed up with pride, but always give his best and contribute to the benefit of his team.

Philippians 2:3-4
"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interest but each of you to the interests of the others."

Thank you for your love and support whatever it may be. We would also appreciate your prayers! Love and God bless you all "“ Proud Dad & Mom (Josh & Melanie Joyce)
