Hi, my name is Melanie Diaz. I am 14 years old and training at King's Combat Sports in Chatsworth, CA. Last year I was a member of the 1st World Cadet Team and proudly represented the United States in Azerbaijan. I came short in the quarter finals, since that day with the assistance of my coach Master Luis Reyes I have vigorously been training day and night to be able to obtain a second chance. Winning at Nationals I have obtained that chance again at the 2nd Cadet World Championship in Korea.

Due to no funding available, we are required to fund our own way to Korea. I am reaching out to my friends and family once again for your support with reaching GOLD for USA. I sincerely appreciate any donations. #TeamUSA

Also, please share this!!!!

Sincerely,

Melanie Diaz (+59kg Heavy Weight) A.K.A. Soft Swerve
