We are so excited to have won Trials last week and qualify to represent the U.S. at the 2010 World Championships. We approach Worlds knowing that we have a huge responsibility to perform for our country. The US hasn't won the lightweight quad event in eleven years and we are training full time to make history and take home the gold.
Now that we have this opportunity to represent the U.S. in New Zealand, we must find a way to get there. USRowing, our national governing body, does not fund our trip to the World Championships, leaving us with the burden of raising $4,000 per person ($16,000 total) for this trip. This cost will cover transportation, lodging, food, entry fees, boat rental, and shipping costs. We are relying on our friends, family, and fans to make this trip possible.
If you feel inspired and are able to support us, we would really appreciate it.
Here’s how you can give:
Make a tax-deductible donation by sending a check payable to the National Rowing Foundation with “LW4x” in the memo and mail it to:
National Rowing Foundation
67 Mystic Road
North Stonington, CT 06359
Many thanks for your help and we hope you continue to enjoy following us on our blog.
