Johnson is a 15 yo Intermediate skater training in
Southern
California. Thanks to donated time by her coach, she has been
able
to continue skating but because of finances, she is not receiving
the valuble training she so desperately needs. In
her past competition seasons, Jade has
placed
in the top four consistantly, but do to the her families lack of
funds, has been unable to compete this past season. She has been
working at the rink for ice time and trading babysitting for
lessons.
Most teenage girls spend their money on clothes and cd's, but all of
Jade's
pocket money goes to skating! More than anything, Jade would like
to make a come back this coming season. She has a fire burning in
her so hot, that when she glides on to the ice, it begins to
melt!
Help Jade feed that fire and suceed in the most expensive and
competitive
sport out there! What does she need more than anything? A
donation
for boots and blades!Please don't let money stand in the way of
talent!
Any amount will help- whether it's $10 for ice time at another
rink
or $1000 for boots and blades! Help a skater who really needs it!

useable
pair of boots. She has been using used boots that were purchased from
those
