Making an Olympic team is the pinnacle of any competitive athletes'career. It's my dream and goal to compete as a person in the 2020 US Olympic Team. My name is Isis Washington and I have already been fencing since ninth grade, was 1st Team All State during senior school, the 2015 NCAA Women's Epee Champion (the first African American Women's Fencing Champion for St. Johns'University) and, currently a happy representative of Team USA Women's Fencing. I have spent a long time and tens and thousands of hours finding your way through this time.
In order to make my dream a reality, I need your help. I should spend many hours preparing with my coach and fitness expert and will travel both domestically and internationally to be able to qualify for the team. You can find 4 National Tournaments, 5 World Cups and 3 Grand Prix remaining this season. The expenses associated with training and competing exceed $35,000 annually.
I work part-time and volunteer coach the youth at the Peter Westbrook Foundation Saturday Program in New York Isis Washington's Journey to Tokyo 2020 City. I also work mentoring young ladies in the fencing community.
My life's goal Isis Washington's Journey to Tokyo 2020 is to begin an academy that provides children from underrepresented communities with special talents. The program would provide resources to support a high tier education and help the student achieve their dreams if it take the arts, sciences, or athletics. I think you need to always give a lot more than what you receive. The reward is so much more meaningful.
Thanks for the generous support.
