Help the USA earn an Olympic spot through sponsoring Gwen
Donation protected
I am Megan LaChance, Gwen Rudy's older sister and one of her biggest fans. I am hoping to help raise funds so that Gwen can travel to Europe for all of the World Cup races in 2025 in order to possibly be eligible to represent the United States in the 2026 Ski Mountaineering Olympics. Gwen has consistently had some of the fastest race times in the United States Skimo races, despite having funded all of her racing and travel all by herself while running her own business. She often competes against athletes who are sponsored creating a much higher advantage. I know that with more support she could race to her full potential. I have always known that she had the potential to go to the Olympics, ever since we were children. She has always had the drive and work ethic, as well as the natural skill and athleticism. Please consider supporting her. All funds will go directly to her racing and travel expenses.
Travel expenses will include approximately $6000 towards lodging for three months, $2000 towards food for 3 months and $6000 towards airfare. Race entrance and gear fees are another estimated $4,000
(this is a super rough estimate, gwen has spent over $6000 this year so far just to race in Andorra and Italy) our total rough estimate for 2025 season is $20,000 for all of her racing expenses.
