Jenna's Running in Australia Fund

Hi! My name is Jenna Barker. I am a sophomore currently attending a private catholic high school in Indiana. I am a cross country and track runner. I fell in love with the sport of running when I was about eight and ever since then I have not been able to stop.  As a freshman, I qualified for the state track meet and currently hold four school records. For my sweet sixteen, I asked my parents if I could run a marathon. In November of 2015, that wish was granted. I completed the Philadelphia Marathon with my dad. The reason I am setting up this account is because I was selected by a company called Down Under Sports to go compete in Australia in the summer of 2016 for track. The trip is nine days. The athletes have two practices and then a meet, which lasts three days. A day or two is spent traveling around Brisbane. It would really mean a lot to me if I raised all of the money and was able to go on this trip. It would help me grow not only as a runner,  but as a person as well. I will get the chance to meet people from all over the world. I have to have all of the money raised by June 1, 2016. Please please please sponsor me on this trip of a lifetime!!:)
