Help Hunter's Family Cheer Him On In Paris

Hunter is heading to Paris! This time we really want to join him. At the Tokyo Olympic games, fans weren't allowed so we were forced to watch from home. This time we are doing our very best to be there to cheer him on in person. We have budgeted and saved to buy our airline tickets and our lodging. However, we were completely blindsided by the cost of the Olympic tickets and we are asking for you to consider helping us.

Each session (prelims, semi-finals, finals) requires its own ticket. Each session also has its own price with relay finals being the most expensive. Hunter is definitely competing in the 100 back, the 4x100 free relay, and the 4x100 medley relay. We have also learned the coaching staff is considering adding him to the 4x200 free relay and the 4x100 mixed medley relay. After we tallied all of those sessions and prices up it came to nearly $40,000! Just for tickets!

We are so grateful for the outpouring of support from our wonderful community, our families, and our friends. Hunter's Tokyo experience was overwhelmingly special - and we know he felt the love, prayers, and support both while abroad and when he came home after the games. Our family feels the same way Hunter does. We are truly blessed to live in such a wonderful close-knit community.

Hunter considers it an honor and a privilege to represent the United States a second time and it is now and always his goal to make his community proud. Thank you for your love, prayers, and support!
