Australian Youth Olympics Fundraiser

 I am honored to say that I have been selected by the USA Judo and Olympic Committee to represent the United States January 16 "“ 20, 2013 in Sydney, Australia for the Youth Olympic Festival. During the 5 days of competition, 30 nations, 1700 youth elite athletes, will be competing in 17 different Olympic sports.  This is the first year the United States has been invited.  In my Sport, Judo, only one girl is chosen for each weight class. Only a total of 5 girls are going represent the United States. USA Judo is willing to cover all my expenses except for my flight. Also, they are not going to cover my mom's flight or her expenses. I need my mom there with me,  so I started a fundraiser to help pay for expenses. Thank you to all who have helped me and to all who donate! - Nicole Stout
