Road to Rio: Pirozhkov Family Story

Elena Pirozhkova has been wrestling for 11 years to see her Olympic dream come true in Rio De Janeiro this summer. Wrestling is her life, and being her family, we are a part of that life and are a part of the wrestling community. Unfortunately we cannot go down to Rio and support Elena... There are 9 children plus my mom, making us a pack of 10. But there is a total of 9 people traveling (since Elena is competing).

Prizes for donating:

$50 personal web shout-out from Elena
$150 signed poster
$300 signed T-shirt

The cost of the trip:
          Flights: $1300 per person x 9
          Visas: $160 per person x 9
          Hotel: $110 night per person for 5 nights x 9
          Total: $18090

Your support and contribution mean the world to us and the family being in Rio will mean the world to Elena. Join us on the road to rio and be a part of helping Elena win the GOLD!
