I started luge when I was 11 years old, in the raw wilderness of Whistler, British Columbia. Moving into high school, sliding and juggling education was always a difficult task but well worth the effort. I traveled internationally for the first time when I was 15 and have been on a national team ever since. As a youth and junior my career was prosperous and exciting as a young but serious athlete. After my career as a junior, in May 2016, I decided it was time to take the next step in my career and move out to Calgary, where the Olympic team both lived and trained. I left my family and home town to follow my dream into the (bigger) city. Last year, during our selection races I was in a car accident leaving me on a home team but unable to travel internationally. Now, at the age of 21, and stronger then ever, I have the chance to fulfill my dream of going to the 2018 Pyeonchang Winter Olympic Games. The money raised would go towards my traveling fees/coaching/equipment throughout this entire year. Before the Olympic Games begin, the national team will be hitting many World Cup from November to just before the Games start in February. Places like Igls, (Austria), Sigulda, (Latvia), Altenberg, (Germany), Lake Placid (New York) will all destinations on my journey in the World Cup circuit and pre Pyeonchang. Brief moments as life changing as the Olympics don't come by often if ever. These funds could help pave the way this season so I can focus on sliding instead of being stressed over money, and whether I can afford my dream. Please help me in funding my dream to slide in the 2018 Pyeonchang Olympic Winter Games! I've trained extensively for 10 years for this moment to arrive and I hope together, we can make it happen.
