Hey Friends!
I am incredibly excited to share that I’ve qualified for the Ironman 70.3 World Championships in Marbella, Spain! This is a dream come true for me, and it marks a huge milestone in my athletic journey. For my whole life, I've loved playing sports, being outdoors, and trying new things! I loved my time playing Division II soccer for 5 years at Colorado Christian University and now I am even more excited to keep pushing my limits. Now I am just starting to prepare for the biggest race of my life thus far and could not be happier to be taking on this challenge and to be racing alongside my aunt and uncle, Nikki and Tim, in November.
Competing in my first-ever Ironman 70.3 was a challenge unlike anything I’ve ever experienced, but to qualify for the World Championships was beyond my expectations that I had ever had for that race, especially it being my first ever triathalon. The Ironman 70.3 World Championships in Marbella, Spain, is a huge event that brings together the best athletes from around the world. Racing there will not only be an incredible honor, but it will also be a chance to represent myself, my family and friends that have supported me, and the hard work I’ve put in to get here.
Before I race in Marbella, I will be competing in a couple of key events to continue pushing myself, a race up Arapahoe Basin mountain (Cirque Series) in Colorado and an ultramarathon (Chase the moon) on July 11th. These races are essential parts of my preparation for the World Championships and will help me continue building both my endurance and mental toughness.
However, the journey to Marbella is a costly one. Between travel, lodging, race fees, equipment, and other expenses, the financial burden is substantial. That’s why I’m turning to you for support. I’m asking for your help to raise the funds I need to make this dream a reality. Every contribution, no matter how big or small, will go directly toward helping me get to Spain and compete in this life-changing event.
This race represents so much more than just a competition to me, It's shown me that I am the strongest person I know and can do anything I set my mind to. I've grown so much since the start of this year and am so excited to only keep getting stronger. I've been inspired by so many people in my life and they always push me to keep "going one more".
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support. I couldn’t do this without you, and every bit of encouragement means the world to me.
