National Physique Competitions

Last year I placed 5th in my first national competition - Team Universe Physique Open, C Class. Competing Nationally is expensive.  I have been competing at a state level since placing 1st in Novice and 2nd in the heavy weight open Colorado State Bodybuilding in 2000 - I've been looking for a sponsor for years, but they are hard to come by.  Entry fees, flights, hotel accommodations, spray tan, posing suits, supplements, and dieting are costly.  Each National show can cost between $2,500 and $3000, not including dieting and supplements.  I was in a car accident September 2, 2013 and it finacially put a damper on finances.  I work one full time job at Children's Hospital and 2 part time jobs (personal training and teaching Salsa)  My Goal this year is to obtain my pro card and thus being a Physique PRO so that I can do a pro show 2015, like the Olympia.  I am hoping to raise money through donations to be able to compete in 5 out of the 7 national shows....unless I can raise enough money to do them all. I plan to do a local show in May, and nationals in June, therer are three in July, one in August , September, and one in November.  I have the heart and the drive to train hard, eat right but also need to rest adaquately and money to be able to compete on top of my game.  Please help me through your donations.  Thank you so much.
