Hey fellas,
I have a lady friend that has a daughter that has qualified for the Olympics in skiing. She also skiing in the 2014 Olympics in Russia. Her name is Jacqualine (Jackie) Wiles.
She skies for Lindsey Vonn's foundation and is a great kid. She actually just finished 3rd at a World Cup event, and was on the podium with Lindsey.
Jennifer (mom) was unable to go in 2014 when Jackie competed in Russia and has recently had surgery on her wrists, making it difficult to return back to massage therapy (she has a yoga/massage studio). There is a gofundme page to help her be able to go see her daughter ski in the Olympics in South Korea. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not a big fan of asking people to pay for stuff like this, but since it's the Olympics, i figured I'd share.
The Shop
Me, I always try to leave the place cleaner than when I arrived.
I rode my bicycle to check the 1988 olympic stadium in Seoul when I was living there a few years ago. Seemed like the biggest facility of its type in that city/country but i could be wrong. The olympic system definitely needs an overhaul with how corrupt alot of it is. What happened to the facilities in Atlanta built for the 1996 games? Im sure Greece could have used the money spent on their facilities for other reasons at the time.
Round trip Pittsburgh to Incheon was about $3k 5 years ago.
I also agree with the mess they leave behind sucks. That pic of the swimming pool is from the olympics in Rio 2016 right?
Pit Row
They raised the money to get mom to the Olympics..however this past weekend at a World Cup Race, Jackie had a terrible crash and was airlifted off the slopes. broken tibia, horrendous ACL and MCL tear....
Huck - thats horrible about your friends daughter. All that hard work and now no Olympics. Hopefully she is young enough to come back and make a go in 2022?
