Hello, this is Kai, over the summer I participated in a Real Madrid training camp. On August 13, I was advised that I was chosen to go to Spain to participate in a weeklong (Nov 18-26) camp, at the Real Madrid training facility, with official Real Madrid Academy coaches, and friendly matches with local '08-'09 Madrid academy teams.

I have worked hard to get better, but I was shocked when I got the invitation. The opportunity to be seen and coached by Real Madrid academy coaches can open many doors for me. I have a lot that I still have to learn and get better at, and this opportunity could help me with that.

I am applying to work as a referee, to help pay for the trip. But it is expensive, and what I will make will only cover a small amount. I hope to raise money to help my parents with the cost. Any money raised will be used for the trip for myself and one adult. I have had a lot of help, and I just want to make this as easy as I can.

Thank you, Kai
