This year, I have the honor to represent our country August 20-August 25, 2019 on the world stage in Pattaya, Thailand. USA National Team paddlers are self supported athletes. Here's where I need your help. First, please pray for my team (Senior A) and I. Let us be a positive example for all the world to see. Second, I will incur financial obligations like travel expenses/hotel accommodations to time trials and races leading up to the world championships in Pattaya, Thailand (estimated over 3K uniforms, hotel stay and flight). *Current flights to Pattaya starting at $1,748. I will provide a break down of cost once that information becomes available. In 2017 with the help of many generous donors $2,825 was raised. Thank you for your support and believing in me.
Today I am thankful for the God given journey of full restoration of mind body and soul. I am freed from the 40 year bondage of childhood PTSD (physical, sexual emotional abuse). My inability to process such trauma resulted in a teenage alcohol addiction, suicide attempt and crystal meth drug addiction all by age 19. I am a walking miracle. I've been sober for over 20 years!
I thought I was strong before...now comes the real power. I pray my story will touch lives and give hope to others.
