Help Send Hannah to China for Youth Climbing Worlds

Hi! My name is Hannah Breen, and I'm a 16-year-old competitive rock climber. Recently, I achieved a significant milestone of making the US Youth National Team in the bouldering and lead climbing disciplines at the US Youth National Championships. This exciting achievement has granted me the incredible opportunity to represent the US at the Youth World Championships in Guiyang, China.

Climbing holds a special place in my heart and I pour my soul into it. From my dedicated approach to training, to my love for outdoor rock climbing, to giving back by coaching others, I always strive to embody the best values of the climbing community. At the recent Youth Nationals, I not only pushed myself in competition but also dedicated my rest days to coaching younger athletes, supporting them through their climbs all the way to the semifinals.

Unfortunately, USA Climbing does not cover any travel expenses for this competition, and the cost of participating in the World Championships is expected to be at least $8,000. Any donation you can provide would be immensely appreciated and will directly support expenses such as transportation, accommodations, a visa, and any fees associated with competing.

Competing in an international competition has always been a dream of mine. Your support means the world to me, and I am deeply grateful for any contributions that can help me pursue this incredible opportunity.

Thank you so much for your consideration,

Hannah Breen (and family)
