Track shorts for Asia who is the star of her track team

Posted May 11, 2017
Asia would love a new pair of track shorts! Asia really wanted to join her school's track team, but was filled with self-doubt, fear and a lack of confidence in herself. But she loved how running made her feel and she thought she might be fast enough. With a lot of support and encouragement over the past few months, she took the chance and earned a spot on the track team! There was no looking back for Asia! She has been jumping hurdles and racing so fast to win, she has quickly become a star on her track team. She loves having her sister and foster parents attend her races to cheer her on. This young lady is coming out of her shell and feeling great about herself. This wish will go a long way to keep cheering her on! Thank you for your kindness!

Asia is 21 years old and lives in RI

Asia is a quiet and intelligent 14 year old girl. She is on her school's cross country team and loves running. Asia lives with one of her older sisters and they enjoy listening to music and spending time together.

I hope you run super fast and that you remain confident in yourself, you can do anything you set your mind to.
