These six kids have endured so much to get to where they are today. A great fight from these 6 individuals at this years Nationals who earned their spots on the U.S Team. They will be going to Argentina for the Pan American Championships and Spain for the World Championships to represent the United States. My team at NKD are so proud of these kids for all the hard work they have done. Please help send our kids to Argentina and Spain. Any donations would be appreciated. Thank you!
