My daughter, Valerie Gainey, has earned a spot at the Junior Olympics for track and field after an incredible season. Valerie’s dedication paid off as she qualified for all her outdoor races, placed in the top spots at regionals and states, and even won two state championships in her relay events. This summer, she’ll compete against the best young athletes in the country, and it’s a huge step toward her dream of running track in college and meeting some of her track heroes.

Getting to the Junior Olympics is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but it comes with significant expenses. We’re raising funds to help cover travel, lodging, entry fees, and other costs so Valerie can focus on her races and make the most of this experience. Both her parents and coaches will be traveling with her to provide support and guidance every step of the way. The event is coming up soon, with travel planned for July 26, so any help is deeply appreciated.

Your support will help Valerie chase her dreams and represent her community on a national stage. Thank you for believing in her journey and helping us make this possible.
