US Olympic Team Bobsled Hopeful
Donation protected
This page is managed by proud supporters of Team Lou Moreira, a Team USA Bobsled hopeful.
Lou is going into his 3rd year as a bobsled push athlete for Team USA and is training harder than ever to make the USA Men's Olympic Bobsleigh Team. With all of your help in the past, Lou was able to pay for elite training services and do all of his traveling necessary to train and make the national team. Trips to Calgary, Canada to train at the "ice house" during the summer months are extremely vital to his progress. Lou is committed to 3 trips to Calgary this summer and needs your help now more than ever. Lou served in combat and now wishes to represent the United States in the 2018 Winter Olympic Games and once again represent our great nation. Please help Lou chase his dreams. Your support means everything to him.
ABOUT LOU: Lou is a combat Veteran of the US Army's 82nd Airborne Division and Bronze Star recipient. After six years of service which included multiple deployments to Afghanistan, Lou left the military and attended SMU where he studied Applied Physiology and Sports Management.
Lou is currently a graduate student at the University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business (May 2016 expected graduation) where he continues to challenge himself academically.
Earlier this year Lou had the incredible opportunity to try out for the US Men’s bobsled team. After a competitive combine and several weeks of training with the team, Lous passion for bobsledding was ignited. Lou has proudly served our great nation in an Army uniform and is now ready to serve our country and wear the Stars and Stripes as a Team USA Olympic athlete.
Go USA -- Go Lou!: Bobsledding is a “blue collar” sport that does not receive much funding like more traditional mainstream sports such as track and field, basketball, or hockey. The bobsled season takes intense commitment and requires domestic and international travel, training, and competition. As a rookie, Lou is financially repsonsible for all costs associated with flights, hotels, food, gear, sled maintenance, and pricey gear.
The funds raised for this campaign will allow Lou to compete for Team USA and further fulfill Lou's dream of competing in the 2018 Winter Olympic Games.
Lou dreams of the opportunity to continue representing the United Sates of America, and with your help and support, it can be possible.
Thank you for your time, consideration and GO USA!
