Justine's Journey to Olympia

Hi there, my name is Justine Mengore, I’m 20 years old from Long Beach, CA. Last weekend I competed in my first bikini competition at the INBA Western USA Championships in Sacramento. I received 1st place in my class and second in open. I also competed in sports model open and INBA angels and earned 2nd place in both. At the end of the show I was recognized as the most symmetrical athlete and the founder of INBA/PNBA presented me with a special award. The brief time I spent on the stage was well worth all the hard work I put in over the last 16 weeks.

Today, the president of the organization personally invited me to compete at The Natural Olympia 2015 in Las Vegas, November 12th-15th. There are 1,000 natural athletes competing from 50 states. I never expected to have the opportunity to represent the USA at the #1 natural bodybuilding event in the world. This is an incredible dream, however it poses financial challenges. I'm doing everything I can to cut costs but with this show being just three weeks after my last competition (that cost me well over $1,000) as well as being a full time psychology and child development student at CSULB I could really use all the help and support I can get. Please know that ANYTHING helps, whether it's $1 if you are able to donate or sharing this link with your friends and family, I will appreciate it immensely.

I will pour every piece of my heart and soul into these next three weeks of training and bring my absolute best package to the stage come show day. There will be a live stream of the show as well. Thank you for taking the time to read my story. 

Sincerely,


Justine Mengore
