<div>On November 2nd, I have the incredible honor of representing France in the World Lacrosse European Qualifiers in Salou, Spain.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When I moved to the US from France at 10 years old, I wasn't athletically inclined <strong>at all. </strong>If there was a way that I could avoid P.E., I found it. I had all the excuses in the books down. But then, I found lacrosse (after copying my older sister), and it stuck. I guess the only way I got motivated to run was by making sure I beat the girl next to me and gave her a sneaky little push (don't tell the ref!) 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I went on to play at the University of Arizona, where I constantly kept an eye out to see if a French Women’s National Team existed. At the time, it didn't, until the team officially launched and competed at the EuroSixes in Portugal in 2025. The moment I saw that, I knew I had to be a part of it. I tried out in September 2025, made the team, and represented France in Portugal in 2026. Now, I am deeply honored to serve as one of the team captains as we head to Spain in just a few weeks. I'm still pinching myself that I get the amazing opportunity to be able to join the team on this journey.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While this experience is an absolute dream come true, playing for a growing national program is currently self-funded. I’m reaching out to ask for your help to support tournament costs, and if we exceed this target, every extra dollar will go directly toward supporting my amazing, incredible teammates.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here is a breakdown of the costs:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Competition entry fee: $1,500
</div>
<div>Flights &amp; train travel: $800
</div>
<div>Accommodation in Salou: $125
</div>
<div>Game jerseys (2 sets): $115
</div>
<div>Team gear &amp; kit (bag, pinnies, apparel): $175
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Even the price of a morning coffee goes a really long way and means the world to me.
</div>
