Hi! My name is Hudson Brandeis. I am a 13 year old soccer player and play for club program, Seacoast United. I have always had a very strong passion for soccer and am looking forward to the rest of my journey through this sport.

I have been given the opportunity to fly to England during February break with Seacoast's MLS Next Academy team to train and play in matches against top academies like Manchester City, Manchester United, and Liverpool. We will also be training with professional coaches from their academies and will be going to a Manchester City game! I am overwhelmed with excitement for this trip.

Every player has been asked to raise some of the money for their trip. This trip will let coaches from overseas have a look at me and my team. We will be able to showcase our skills to them, and I will also be able to be immersed in English culture. Some of my favorite players are from Manchester City, including Erling Haaland and Doku. Being at Man City's Etihad Stadium will be amazing.

If you're interested, consider donating $20 by Dec. 15. Your support helps me chase my dream of becoming the best soccer player I can be.

Thank you!
