Hi, my name is Yosef and I’m a 16 year old NYC-based track cyclist who’s been training since I was 8. One of the biggest events in my sport is the Junior National Championships. I’ve been able to compete in the Nationals for the past 4 years.Two years ago, I reached the podium with a bronze medal in my age category! <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/80196583_171605465815191_r.jpg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="80196583_171605465815191_r.jpg" /> This year, the competition is in Seattle, WA and I need your help getting there.

On the track, everyone calls me YOYO, a nickname given to me by one of my coaches. I’m so grateful that my mom signed me up for a free cycling program that introduced me to a sport I fell in love with. <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/80196583_1716054828340760_r.jpg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="80196583_1716054828340760_r.jpg" /> <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/80196583_171605485075372_r.jpg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="80196583_171605485075372_r.jpg" />  Cycling is expensive, but this team and community has supported my mom and I at every stage so I can train and compete regularly.

A goal that I set for myself after last year’s competition was to podium again. For the past year, I’ve been training– on an average week, I clock 100-200 miles on my bike and weight train twice weekly. 

I’m putting in the work and I won’t be able to get to Seattle without your help. <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/80196583_1716054892739732_r.jpg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="80196583_1716054892739732_r.jpg" /> The funds will fully go toward race fees, bike and rider transportation plus room and board.
  My mom and I thank you in advance for any help you can give. #SeattleorBUST <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/80196583_1716047591796873_r.jpg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="80196583_1716047591796873_r.jpg" /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/80196583_1716046903157751_r.jpg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="80196583_1716046903157751_r.jpg" /><img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/80196583_1716047629706142_r.jpg" width="100%" media_type="3" alt="80196583_1716047629706142_r.jpg" />
