Support Alex's Fargo journey

My name is Matt Yan and I'm the head wrestling coach at Lane Tech. Alex Valentin has qualified for Illinois' 16U Greco-Roman national team and needs some financial help covering the tournament fees, lodging, travel, food and training camp. The tournament will be held in Fargo, N.D., this July.

Alex is a two-time Chicago Public League champion and despite only being in his second year of wrestling, he is already a role model to teammates. He is extremely dedicated to his wrestling and strength training, and brings great energy to our team. Last year he came up just short of making it to Fargo so making the team this year is a step up. We want to help send him to the Fargodome to achieve his goal of earning All-American status. Please consider donating/sharing to assist him in achieving his dream. Any support is greatly appreciated.
