Competing in Russia- Wrestling Trip

My name is Seamus Bermingham, I am a former member of the Orchard Park Wrestling team, and I am currently a member of the Baldwin Wallace Wrestling team and a Junior Pre-Physical Therapy major.  I am trying to raise 3,000 dollars to fund a trip to Moscow, Russia in order to compete internationally and gain cross-cultural experience.  It has always been a dream of mine to wrestle at an elite level, and being able to go on this trip would allow me to do so.  The money donated would cover my flight tickets, meal costs, and gear.  This trip would be extremely meaningful to myself and my team as well.  Making this trip would not only help me grow as a wrestler but as a man as well, allowing me to wrestle with and learn from the best wrestlers the world has to offer, along with gaining a brand new cultural experiance.  Russia is one of, if not the most, prolific wrestling nations in the world with a long list of olympic and world champions.  Training and submerging myself in that environment, especially during an olympic year, would without a doubt positively impact my toughness and ability to compete at an extremely high level.  This trip will a huge step forward to achieving my ultimate goal of becoming a Division III National Champion.  Any little bit helps, and you are not able to donate please share this with friends, family, or other wrestlers! This is a trip of a lifetime and would mean the world to me if I can make the journey!  Thank you.
