Hello everyone,
My name is Tyler, and I'm incredibly honored to share that I've qualified to represent the USA in judo at the 2025 Deaflympics in Japan. This opportunity is nearly a dream come true, allowing me to compete at one of the highest levels of international competition under the International Olympic Committee.
My journey in judo began in 2012 after watching Kayla Harrison win gold at the London Summer Olympics. Her achievement inspired me to take up the sport, and I haven’t looked back since. Over the past decade, I've dedicated myself to mastering judo, earning my black belt and training at Eastside Dojo in Plano (& Texoma Judo in Wichita Falls)
The Deaflympics is more than just a competition for me—it's a chance to fulfill a lifelong passion for the Olympics and to represent our country on the world stage. However, to make this dream a reality, I need your support.
I’m aiming to raise $4,000 to cover the various expenses required for this journey, including, but not limited to:
- Flights to and from Japan
- Accommodation with the team in Japan
- Transportation within Japan
- New judo uniforms
Your generosity would mean the world to me, helping me achieve a goal I've worked so hard for. Whether you can donate or simply share this campaign, I’m deeply grateful for any support you can provide.
Thank you for being a part of this journey with me. Let’s bring home the gold together!
With gratitude,
Tyler
