Please help fund my snowboarding career!

Donation protected
Hi everyone, my name is Avery Lyons and I am fundraising for my snowboarding career. First off i want to say thank you to everyone who has donated so far, you all made the Championships possible and they were super fun! To qualify for this competition you have to be in the top 15/100 girls in my category, because only that many get invited. I placed 7/15 this year, but next year i plan to podium! That's why I'm going to snowboard camp at High Cascade in Oregon to learn from the one and only pro snowboarder Shaun White!

I am 14 years old, and I've been doing IFSA (International Freeski and Snowboard Association) for 8 years. I started when I was only 6 years old, the minimum age to compete in IFSA competitions is 9 years old, but they made an exception for me because I was on the Crystal Mountain snowboard team at the time. I've been snowboarding since I was 1 1/2, so almost 13 years. 

I've competed in 8 IFSA competitions this year, and won 1st place 5 times, 2nd once, 4th once and 7th in the Championships. All competitions require traveling, lift tickets, and some times lodging and accommodations. My mom drives me to each one and pays for everything, but it's getting really expensive.

I am currently in 9th grade, but since I'm homeschooled I am a grade ahead. I'm taking all AP classes and have straight A's, and I want to be a neuroscientist when I grow up. I'm really interested in the human brain and how it functions, and it would be cool to study it as a profession. 

I help raise money by babysitting my moms friends kids. She sets me up with babysitting jobs often. The funds collected from this would be used for transportation to camp, food, accommodations, and lodging. Going to this camp means the world to me, and I'm forever grateful for the aid.
