Lenny and Sebby to Paris 2024

Hi, My name is Leonard (Lenny) Merkin. I am a Greco-Roman wrestler from Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York. I am accompanied by my travel companion and the wrestling world's favorite personality... @sebbythesloth. I'm raising money to help cover travel and training expenses as I search the globe for the best partners and insights about the sport I hold so dear to my heart. In 2019, I took a break from my Princeton University studies to pursue my dream and travel the world absorbing wrestling and cultural knowledge, but the trip was cut short by the Covid Pandemic.

It's time for part 2 of the Lenny and Sebby adventure. I hope to travel abroad and within the US to find the best training partners and environments for myself and my sloth. With your help, I hope to one day represent my fans, supporters, and my hometown on the big stage at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. I know this will take patience, hard work, and sacrifice, but I trust the journey and hope to have some of you along with me.
