Help CJ's Medical Adventures Begin

I have a long-term goal to be doctor, specifically General Practitioner. Recently, I was invited to attend National Youth Leadership Forum: Medicine (NYLF). This invite-only medical program, NYLF, is a nine-day course, allowing me to meet students and teachers in the medical field, while at the same time earning college credits, and getting an idea of what my future will look like. 

I will be going to St. John's University in New York from July 17 -25th. This is my first step to getting into a medical college and eventually meds school. When I proposed the idea to my parents, they were super enthusiastic but said they said I needed to raise the money myself.   I am extremely excited about this challenging opportunity and truly appreciate any help you can give.
