“Fuel the Fire: Haley’s Summer Training in Switzerland”

Hi everyone!

My name is Haley Finch, and I'm a competitive biathlete from Alaska proudly representing the U.S. on the international stage. After wrapping up my fourth consecutive season at U.S. Biathlon Nationals and preparing to graduate from high school, I'm taking a huge step forward in my athletic journey: training in Switzerland this summer. This program will allow me to train at altitude with elite-level athletes and coaches, an experience that will challenge me physically and mentally while preparing me for the upcoming 2025-26 race season.

I'm incredibly excited for this opportunity, but I can't do it alone. I'm reaching out to ask for your support in helping cover the costs of this international training block.

Where are your support goes:

Coaching & Range Fees, Training Camps, Housing, Airfare and Rifle fees

Every donation, no matter the size, helps make this dream a reality. Even if you're unable to contribute financially, sharing this campaign with your network makes a big difference.

Why this matters:

This opportunity isn't just about training; it's about learning, growing, and building the foundation I need to reach the next level of biathlon. I've worked hard to balance international competition with school, and as I step into this next chapter, I'm more motivated than ever to keep chasing big goals.

Thank You Gifts:

To thank you for your generosity and support, I'd love to share a few meaningful gifts from my journey:

- $100 - A handwritten thank-you card from one of the training locations

- $250 - A signed reprint of a watercolor painting inspired by my journey

- $500 - A signed reprint plus a small gift from my time in Switzerland

- $750 - An original watercolor painting created during my trip

Each tier reflects my heartfelt appreciation and a piece of the journey I'd love to share with you.

Thank You 

To everyone who has supported me along the way, through kind words, encouragement, coaching, or just cheering from afar, thank you. I wouldn't be where I am today without you, and I hope you'll be a part of what's coming next.

With gratitude,

Haley Finch
