My nieces daughter (my great nice) is a world class acrobatic athlete. This remarkable young lady and her team have beat out teams from all across the U.S. and will be going to China to represent our country in an international competition. Please take a moment to read her story and if you can help her with the costs. By the way my great niece is the one on the left. Thank you!

PRC or New Jersey? WTF? Better check your stove pipe connections. I think you may be suffering from lack of oxygen. You've got a "kid sucking up 100k every year"? Then you can afford a few bucks for this worthwhile cause. Besides your kid whom I assume is away at some overpriced university is probably smoking weed and getting drunk on your $$$. Not sure how to take this off the wall post.

Anyway to those that did take the time to read Lily's story and contribute, thank you very much! She is a great kid with a dream that she is working very hard to achieve. She truly deserves your help. I've been on this forum for a lot of years and never asked anyone for a dime. I wouldn't be now if this wasn't so special and worth it. Thanks all who have contributed so far!! :D :D :D

My great niece Lily is only about $2,000.00 away from her fundraising goal of $10,000.00 to cover her trip to compete in China this March. Today Lily appeared on a Washington DC TV morning show called Great Day Washington. Click the link below to watch. Thank you everyone from the coal forum who has contributed. It means a great deal and every little bit helps if you haven't taken the opportunity to contribute.

Thank you Rick for your incredibly generous donation! I can't thank you enough and the other forum members who have stepped up to help meet this goal. I really think Lily and her team are going to kick ass in China!

The competition started last weekend. My nieces team beat out 21 other countries to get into the finals. Last night they finished 4th in the world. They are disappointed but still very proud of their accomplishments. More details to follow. Thanks everyone for your help and support!

Not to friggin' shabby there Terry. Great job to the team.

I'm sure she now has memories that will last her lifetime.
