Luke Fetzer's Roubaix Campaign

Hi, my name is Luke Fetzer. I am 17 years old, born and raised in Laguna Beach, California. I am a highly competitive cyclist racing at the National and International levels. Recently I have been invited to race with the US National Team overseas in Europe. This will be my third time racing with the National Team, but this next trip will be my biggest yet! I could not be more excited and honored to represent my country. My teammates and I will be racing at the highest level in France and Belgium for 3 weeks and I am asking for your help and assistance. Your funds will help me accomplish my dreams and make this trip possible.

For this trip, we will arrive in Brussels on March 21, and race on March 26 at Junior Gent Wevelgem, a UCI 1.1 level race with the biggest and most competitive junior teams in the world. Our second race will be in the Belgian region of Zoutleeuw. A local Kermesse (a longer, and more euro version of American Criterium racing). Our final race of the trip is the most renowned race on the UCI calendar, Paris Roubaix! Roubaix is the pinnacle of one-day racing, where we will be competing against other National Teams in the fight for the title on April 9. At this race I will have the opportunity to earn our country points to compete at the World Championships held in Glasgow, Scotland this August. Famously known for its extreme French farm-road cobbles, unpredictable weather, and intense racing, it's not nicknamed "Hell of the North" for no reason!

As we clip in, buckle up, and get ready for this race we are restless and counting down the days for the trip to begin! I am asking for just a small donation which will go a long way. As we know, this sport is not cheap but it is most certainly rewarding! Thank you for your consideration and help in helping me accomplish and conquer my dreams!
