I am Jesus Rojas Mendoza.  I am an 8th grade student-athlete from Calistoga, CA.  My coach, Eric Heitz is taking me to run in the United States Junior Olympic National finals in Albuquerque, New Mexico on December 12th.

I earned the right to run in the national championships by placing 5th in the region 14 qualifying race last Sunday in Fresno, CA.

We are raising money to pay for airfare, hotel rooms, rental car and meal expenses.

Any donations you can make will be very appreciated and will help me expand my horizons and race against the best the US has to offer.  This will be an experience I will never forget and your generous assistance will help me achieve my goals.
