Aside from being an MBA student, Mandy’s full-time job is being an athlete. It costs roughly $50,000/year to commit to being a full-time athlete. She trains up to 30 hours a week with her sights set on competing at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. As a 27-time U.S. National Champion and competing for the National Team, Mandy is proud to represent her country and inspire others, especially those living with diabetes, to chase their dreams.
How Your Contributions Help Mandy:
While Mandy receives some support from the National Team and her sponsors, she is not fully funded. After taxes on sponsorship income, many of Mandy’s training and competition expenses still come out of pocket, including travel to Los Angeles for National Team camps, gas, and other essential costs. Your support helps cover these critical expenses below.
