Julia Long XC mountain biker
Donation protected
My name is Julia Long, I am 17 years old and I live beautiful Whistler, BC.
I have been selected to the BC Team for competitive cross country Mountain Biking. Unfortunately, mountain bike racing is very expensive. Although both my parents and I have been trying to earn enough money it isn't enough to cover all the race expenses and equipment. Many of the races are far away, in order to get there I need money to pay for all of the travel expenses, such as accommodation, airfare, transportation and food. In order to be at this level, I also pay for a personal coach which is quite expensive.
The season is fast approaching and I have been working very hard to achieve my goals of competing in National Canada Cup events that are on the other side of the country and hopefully compete in events across the world. Long term, I wish to be an Olympic caliber athlete. Unfortunately, I project a shortfall of income this winter to afford the travel this summer.
I am appealing to you to contribute to my race season in 2017. With your financial help, I will be able to represent BC this summer and maybe even Canada one day. With your help, I can experience new opportunities that can help me grow as an athlete and person.
I also work very hard at a part time job and maintain an 'A' average at school.
