Youth Olympic Hopeful

Hi!  My name is Noah. I'm normally a shy and quiet 10 year old kid, but when I'm running I come alive. I was born to run!  It is my dream to run in the 2024 World Olympics. Competing in the Junior Olympics will be a step on my path to be an Olympian. I am raising money to get there and I would really like your help.

 I began running competitively with a USA Track & Field (USATF) youth team – the Vegas Speed Track Club this past January.  I train 2 hours a day, 4 days a week and my hard work has paid off.  I am currently ranked in all 3 of my races. I'm 2nd in the 800 meter run, 2nd in the 4x100 meter relay and 1st in the 4x400 meter relay in the USATF Region #15 (West Coast) and Region #12 (South). During the short time I have been competing, I have qualified to participate in the Junior Olympics.  

The 2013 Junior Olympics is in Greensboro, North Carolina July 22nd – 28th. Paying for the entry fee, a plane ticket from Las Vegas, hotel, food and transportation during the stay is expensive. I’m trying to raise $3500 to cover my costs and donations are tax deductible. 

Even if you can't give money, I would appreciate your prayers and cheers wherever you are, while I reach for my dream of being an Olympian! 

Love, 

Noah Norris
