UPDATE 6/8 9:51 PM: WE DID IT!!! We collected the funds to support Ava's grand adventure, so we're stopping collections. Witnessing the love and support for this special athlete makes it all worth it. Thank you.

After winning 63 KG 14-18 yo female nationals in Arizona, Ava (15 yo) has drawn the attention of the NAPF national team juniors coach. The national team has invited her to compete with the team at the North America championship in the Cayman Islands.

Mom cannot fund the entire thing on her own. So, for the first time ever, I'm asking my amazing fitness community for help. Please help this beautiful, powerful, young woman get the experience and exposure she has worked so hard to earn.

These funds will pay for her entry fees, transportation costs, room and board for mom and athlete.

Coach Doug
