Help Abby Represent Team USA at the World Championships in China!
We’re beyond excited to share some amazing news—Abby has officially qualified to represent Team USA at the 2025 World Skate Inline Speed Skating World Championships in Bedaihe, China this September!
After years of intense training, sacrifice, dedication, and overcoming injuries, Abby’s lifelong dream has finally come true—she earned a coveted spot on Team USA at the USA Roller Sports National Championships! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to compete on the world stage, proudly wearing red, white, and blue. Since she was just 7 years old, Abby has said, “Someday, I’m going to make the World Team.” Well—SOMEDAY IS NOW. After countless setbacks, victories, and an unshakable drive, she’s officially headed to the World Championships. She’s been chasing this dream for over half her life—and now, it’s real.
But now, the race is on—off the track. With only 11 weeks until departure, Abby needs to raise $5,000 to help cover the cost of travel, lodging, team fees, and equipment for the World Championships.
What the Funds Will Cover:
Round-trip travel to China ✈️


Lodging and meals during the competition


Team USA gear and race fees


Training expenses and equipment upgrades


Why It Matters:
This isn’t just a cool trip. It’s the culmination of years of dedication. Abby trains year-round, sacrifices weekends, holidays, and free time—all for the love of skating. This is her Olympic moment and she’s worked so hard to get here.
But we need your help to get her across the finish line.
How You Can Help:
Donate whatever you can—every dollar gets her closer to China!

Let’s rally behind Abby and help her take on the WORLD. She’s not just skating for herself—she’s skating for her team, her country, and for every young athlete chasing a dream.
Thank you for believing in her. Let’s get her to Worlds! ❤️
