Hi! My name is Howard and I am fundraising to cover travel and competition expenses to Compete at the Pan-American Wushu Championships that are being held in Brasilia, Brazil.  I have been doing Wushu for over 10  years. Wushu is a growing sport, and The United States of America Wushu Federation does not pay for the travel or competition expenses of its athletes. I am currently one of the top 6 Junior Athletes in the US who are offered the opportunity to represent the USA at these events. I don't want to burden my parents with the cost of these expenses because they have supported me for all these years. This money will go directly towards plane tickets, rooming, food, and competition. I would be incredibly grateful for any help you could provide. Thank you for taking the time to read this and have a wonderful day!
