My name is Sydney “Send it!” Hart. I’m 7 years old and I love riding and racing my BMX bike. I've been racing now for about a year and a half, and in that time, I’ve raced numerous local races, a handful of state races, and even a couple of nationals. I’ve qualified for all of them and even collected some nice trophies.

I'm asking for your help chasing my goals of making it to the biggest race of the year. I placed second in our California state championship race, which ranked me 8th overall out of 7 and 8-year-old novice and intermediate riders. My coaches tell me I have a real chance of being successful if I can make it to the biggest race of the year, Grand Nationals and ROC (Race of Champions) taking place from Thanksgiving through the 1st of December in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Around the BMX racing scene, it’s known as the greatest race on earth!

We’re hoping to raise enough money to drive to Oklahoma for three reasons. First, it would be more affordable than buying plane tickets for our family during the busy holiday and taking the risk of shipping my bicycle. Second, it would be a fantastic road trip to see parts of the country I've never seen before. Finally, on the way to Oklahoma, we could make a stop in Texas to visit my grandpa, great grandma, and numerous family members there.

Please help me chase my dreams and make it to the biggest race of the year!
