I have been accepted to Gould Academy in Bethel, Maine.  I will be attending Gould for 2 years while chasing my dream of alpine ski racing and prepping for my college years. 
I have been racing since I was 4 years old and have this amazing opportunity to train and compete with this outstanding team.  I have been the top Southern Oregon racer for the last 3 years and been in the top 6 statewide as well.  
My expenses for tuition, training, travel and race entry fees are as follows:
Tuition $62000 per year
Gould Training Team Fees $3600 per year
Travel for Training $10000 
Race fees and additional expenses $5000 
All funds raised will go to the above expenses.  My family is amazingly supportive but this is a lot.  My hope is to continue to compete into college and to make the US Ski Team.  I will have to work incredibly hard to reach these goals and Gould will give me the foundation to do so. 
Any amount donated will be greatly appreciated and I will pay it forward!  I help with young racers at Mt. Hood for 3 weeks each summer and will continue to do so as I become more successful.   My long term goal is to work as a Physical Therapist in a mountain community so that I can stay involved in the sport of ski racing and help mentor young competitors.  
Thank you for reading and hopefully donating.
