Aria is 9 years old and has been training in grappling for years. This past tournament season she earned her spot on Team USA to compete at the ICO World Championship in Thonon-les-Bains, France this October.

This isn't a dream we're chasing - it's already real. She qualified. She's on the team. Now we just need to get her there.

Aria is a tough, resilient kid who has worked through injuries, losses, and hard days on the mat to get to this moment. She competes in submission-only grappling against kids from programs with far more resources than ours, and she earned this on heart alone.

Getting to France means flights, accommodations, registration fees, training camps, and coaching - costs that add up fast for a single dad doing everything he can to give his daughter this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Every dollar you contribute helps Aria stand on the world stage and represent her country. She has worked too hard for this opportunity to miss it over finances.

Help us get her to France.
