Hello all :)

I have been rowing on the Shaker Heights Crew team since fall of my freshmen year. Every moment has been memorable and I have learned so much not just about the sport but other life lessons that will stay with me. This past year our team recently got new coaches and we have moved to a new boathouse. All of this change has been absolutely amazing and I was thrilled to hear about all of the oppurtunities that have been presented to me. In just a few months my technique and power has improved exponentially. That last peice of the puzzle to success is good boast. Our fleet is over 20 years old. Even if you have a fast team the difference between 1st and 2nd can almost always be the quality of the boat. I want to take my boat to nationals and you all can help me. Any and all money donated will go to new boats and equipment to make our fleet and team as best as it can be.  

With love,
