Dear Friends and Family,
I am honored to have been selected to compete for Team USA at this summer’s World University Games in Chengdu, China July 28th - August 8th. This is a multi-sport international competition, which means we will get to walk in an opening and closing ceremonies with over 10,000 athletes from over 100 different countries playing all sorts of different sports which I can’t wait to go cheer for. The US delegation will be about 300 athletes strong and I’m thrilled to have been selected to be one of them.
Throughout the history of these games, our federation has sponsored the US team in full, however, due to a lack of funding, this year we need to pay our own way. The overall cost of the trip and training camp will be around $6,500, however, through the generous support of my family (TCLC LOVE!), only $3,500 of this cost remains. The remaining funds will help cover the games fees, the cost of the flight to the training camp at USC (FIGHT ON!) and associated camp expenses, the flight to China, and all lodging, meals, and equipment over the three week trip.
As you know, swimming is a huge part of my life and I have big dreams when it comes to what I want to accomplish. I got to represent the USA last summer on the Junior National team, and I ended the year ranked 3rd in the world for 18&Unders, but this will be my first opportunity to race “senior” swimmers on an international stage.
I would be so grateful if you would be willing to support me in this opportunity to represent my country this summer at the World University Games in China.
Every donation, no matter how small, is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your support, GO USA!
