Scotti Lechuga , from Little Rock AR, is an elite professional cyclist and has competed at top-level competitions all around the world. 2016 will be her 3rd year to compete professionally, and she carefully balances her career as a pro cyclist with being a mother of twin 4 year-olds, running her business (Leborne Coaching), and selling original art to help financially support her endeavors as a cyclist. With only 2 professional years under her belt, Scotti has already done several races with the US national team, is ranked internationally, and plans to keep on growing.
Her dream is to make the US Olympic team. Scotti found cycling at the age of 27 and had her twins at the age of 29. When they started their family, Scotti's coach and husband, Ernie Lechuga, encouraged her that having the boys didn't mean giving up on that dream!( Can you imagine cycling all day and raising twins? ) Instead, they have sunken their teeth into making that goal a reality, and have put their best effort into Scotti's athletic endeavors.
The Lechugas downsized to living in an RV so Scotti and her boys can have a home on wheels as they travel to races (hotels and eating crappy food got old fast!). With the RV, Scotti also has the flexibillity to seek out the best training spots to prepare for this coming season. They'll be leaving Little Rock in January to go West for better training and some altitude, and will then be on the road competing after February.
RIGHT NOW Scotti needs money for these specific things:
1. A time trial bicycle
COST: $3000
2. A day of babysitting
COST: $75
3. Training equipment( power meter,wheel set and mechanical parts)
COST: $3500
4. Travel expenses-gasoline, camp site feees
COST: $9000 (annual)
5. Medical expenses ( insurance, physical therapy, massage, periodic testing, nutritional and energy supplements)
COST: $15000 (annual)
6. Child care
COST: $6000 (annual)
Scotti and Ernie will be forever grateful for your supporting them in this endeavor. While your gifts are not tax-deductible, your heart will be blessed by helping someone reach their dream of trying out for the Olympics. We all wish we could have been in the Olympics when we were young. Let's help Scotti ride on!
