Forrest racing at the National XC Junior Olympics

Hi, my name is Forrest Raymond from Farmington/Wilton, Maine, and I am ten years old.

I love running cross country, track, and local road races with my twin brother, Miles.

In the New England junior olympics, I placed 14th and qualified for the national cross country meet at Texas A&M University.

I would love to represent the state of Maine in this race! Running at nationals is an exciting opportunity, and I would love to go.

Unfortunately, we do not have an organized USA Track & Field team in western Maine, so I am running unattached without sponsors.

Will you help me go to Texas? Every dollar helps! If you are unable to donate, would you mind sharing my story? Maybe if more people knew about competing in Maine, we could form an official team in the future!

I will also be collecting cans and bottles. Please reach out to my mom if you have recyclables you'd like to donate.

Thank you for your generosity and for helping me achieve my goal!
