Marion Lepert's Olympic Campaign

I am an RS:X Windsurfer aiming to represent the US at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. I have been windsurfing for over a decade in the San Francisco Bay, and I began racing on the Olympic board as a member of the US Sailing Team Sperry Top-Sider two years ago. I am taking time off from my studies to train full time for the Games, but I need your support to help me have access to the right resources to be successful.

I'm looking to raise $15,000 through online crowdfunding. I know that I'm capable of qualifying for Rio and excelling there if I have the right resources, so your support could make all the difference. 

Donations can also be made tax deductible through the St. Francis Sailing Foundation. Checks should be made out to the "St. Francis Sailing Foundation" for "Marion Lepert's Olympic Campaign" and sent to the address below:
