Fuel McKenna McKee's Path to the 2028 Olympics

Hi, I’m McKenna McKee, a passionate cyclist and a 13-time National Champion. I started riding a bike before I could walk, and my love for the sport has driven me to dream big. Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 6, I’ve overcome countless challenges to reach where I am today. My ultimate goal is to qualify for the 2028 Olympics right here in my home country.

To achieve this dream, I need to gain more experience and exposure to international races. I can do this by racing more events on a UCI trade team (Tesseract Racing) and also continuing my training and racing with USA Cycling's Track Sprint Program. During 2025, the funds raised here will help cover expenses for international races, training camps, and essential equipment. Bike racing is an expensive pursuit, and even a small donation can make a significant difference.

My fundraising committee estimates I will need approximately $25k-$35k per year for these expense categories - training, coaching, equipment, nutrition, medical, travel/transportation (air, train, bus, uber, taxi), meals, accommodations, and daily allowance for both local and international events, entry fees, administrative costs, and other related expenses. USA Cycling does not contribute funds to my UCI racing with Tesseract Racing. Every contribution goes directly to my training, racing, and travel needs.

Your support will help me compete at a higher level and bring me closer to representing our country on home soil at the LA2028 Olympics. Any contribution is greatly appreciated and will go a long way in helping me reach my Olympic dream.

Thank you for your support!

Sincerely,

McKenna McKee
