Help me and my racing dream!
Donation protected
First off, my name is Madison West.
I am 17-year-old girl residing in the small, mountain town of Tehachapi CA. I have earned an honnors 4.0 GPA and have over 5 years of ballet currently under my belt. You may be thinking,"Well there is nothing special about that," but I have another part of me; the dirtbike-racing maniac. I've been riding dirtbikes since my early childhood, but it has now blossomed into a complete obsession. I race dirtbikes in southern California District 37 series, and in a primarily male sport, it is extremely difficult to get any aid from sponsors. My single father is a small business owner, and all of my events are paid out of pocket through him, and he makes too many sacrifices to help pay for me to pursue my dream. I currently ride a 12-year old KTM 200, and even though we have dumped all of our spare change into the bike, we are slowly losing our edge with other competition. I still win many of my events yet it is becoming increasingly more difficult to keep up with the newer bikes. I hope traveling to more series and events outside of southern California, such as National Hare and Hound and Big 6 GP, which will allow me to compete against bigger classes and chase after more championships.
The reason I ask for aid is to:
have a newer, safer bike to ride
help pay for the best in saftey equipment
help pay for traveling expensies
(gas,food,etc)
help pay for medical expenses (if I am injured)
I currently am scraping money together myself to try and pay for a newer bike. I have $1897 in donations from local businesses, friends, and family. I am also selling some of my belongings, such as a Lynn Gertenbach painting passed down to me.
My current sponsors are:
(they are all discounts ranging from 10-50% off)
Kenda Tire
Eks Goggles
Atlas Neck Brace
AXO
Factory Backing
Accerbis
My biggest donators
Tim O' Sullivan (Playa Vista Studios)-$1000
Dave's Auto-$500
Dave Doland-$200
ANYTHING HELPS, from the change in your couch to the penny you found yesterday--anything will help support my dream to be the best female off-road racer there is in this diffiuclt and merciless sport.
Thank you for taking your time to even read what I am requesting--seriously, having any interest in my cause helps!
