I am a 16 year old junior cyclist racing at a high level across the U.S., this season I have competed in several major races against the best riders in the country. To fully commit to training and racing I have made the decision to do school online. That flexibility allows me to train consistently, travel for races, and recover properly while still staying on top of my education.

This summer is a huge opportunity for me. I’m planning to race at the National Championships, the Tour of America’s Dairyland, and in Belgium, one of the most competitive and development-focused cycling scenes in the world. I train 6 days a week and take my progression seriously, focusing not just on power, but on becoming a smarter, more complete racer. Racing in Belgium is especially important because it offers a level of competition and experience that is hard to find in the U.S.

Even with team support, the costs add up quickly. Flights, race entries, housing, and transportation bring the total to around $6,500. I am incredibly grateful for the support I have had so far, it has made a big difference. Every donation or share helps me get closer to lining up at these races and taking the next step in my cycling journey.

Balancing online school with the demands of training and racing takes discipline, but i’m fully committed to seeing how far I can go in this sport.

If you are able to support or share this, it truly means a lot.
