I created this campaign because:
Hello! I have started this fundraiser to help me on my way to becoming one of the top athletes in in the world! But first, baby steps. Currently, I am one of the top ranked biathletes in North America for my age, as well as being on the Canadian Junior National Team and Olympic Talent Squad. In just 2 months time, I will be flying overseas to Europe to compete at the World Junior Championships in Minsk, Belarus, as well as a couple races besides including Open European Champs and an IBU Cup race. It will be my second year competing for Canada at this event, and thus I have set some lofty goals for myself. I plan to finish in the top 40 in one, if not all of the individual races, as well as a top 6 finish with my relay team.
I will be using the funds for:
However, I may not be able to reach these goals without your help. Biathlon, and sport in general, tends to be very expensive, and I appreciate all the help I can get. The majority of the money that I raise will go towards funding my trip to Europe and World Junior Championships.
Your supported means:
Your contribution means a lot, no matter if it is $1 or $1000. Any help that I can get will be welcome. However, I have setup a rewards system for donations over $20, $50, $125, and $250. Mostly they are shout-outs on social media and my personal blog, but if you donate enough there may be some gifts in it for you. I am not using these rewards as motivation for you to donate more, but rather as thank you gifts to show how grateful I am for your donations.
