My name is Payton Serraglio. I’m reaching out to you in hopes that you’ll consider donating to me as I continue to pursue my goal of winning the U20 2024 World Junior Track & Field Championships in Peru – and in qualifying for the 2028 LA Olympics.

I’m an elite athlete and pole vaulter who’s looking for financial assistance so I can invest in my own set of poles. These are crucial for my training both leading up to and during competitions.

In this sport, it’s critical that I use poles that fit my size and my needs. However, the cost to buy a full set of poles is significant. I use a minimum of 10 poles and each pole is just over $1,000.

With your support, I’m hoping to buy the equipment necessary to elevate my training and performance and achieve my goals.

Regardless of the support provided, it will go a long way in funding my athletic pursuits as I represent Western University and Canada next year.
