Get Katie to Speedo Masters Canadian Championships

Donation protected
As a friend of Katie I have offered to host a Go Fund Me to support her goal to get to this meet, one thing we all know about our beautiful cold water mermaid is that she is the happiest in the water, let’s rally together as a community and help make this happen. I know she will personally thank each and every one of you who can help‍.
Cheerfully,
Angela

(words from Katie)

Hello,
I have the opportunity to attend the speedo masters Canadian championships in Windsor from May 24-26. 
I have been swimming most of my life, and started swimming at masters compétions in 2014. 
Swimming is my love and passion. It brings me light on the dark days, and happiness one stroke at a time. 
In 2019 I got quite sick, and have been dealing with countless health challenges, including a small stroke. In 2022 I was in a car accident, giving me a concussion and neck/upper back injuries.
Due to my health challenges I’m no longer able to work and am on disability.
 After this concussion swimming was something I could no longer rely on as it would flare up symptoms. Over the past few years I have worked extremely hard to get myself back to a place where I can tolerate swimming. 
I haven’t been able to attend nationals the last 2 years because of health conditions, and I refuse to let that get in the way this year. I need something to work towards and to look forward to. I want to be an example that you can do anything, no matter what your limitations may be. 
I am hoping to raise $1600 which will cover flights, hotel, rental car, gas and meet registration fees.
Katie
