My name is Olivia Mew and I am an Olympic Windsurfer. I have been windsurfing for 8 years and completely love my sport. I have qualified to represent Canada at the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru taking place July 26 - August 12, but need to fundraise to help support the cost of the trip.

As I have already qualified myself at the individual selection regatta, the only thing holding me back from going are financial constraints.

I am responsible for covering my own costs for the Games. This includes:
- Flights ($1500)
- Mandatory Team Uniforms ($1300)
- Accommodation and Food for 17 days (at least $1000)
- Shipping Container Costs ($500)
- New Generation sail ($1300)

Without the generous support from friends and family I will not be able to fulfill my dream and compete at the Games.

As flights need to be booked ASAP, I need to have funding secured before May 1, 2019.
