Hi there! My name is Mina. 

I'm a third year mountain biker who was honored to be chosen to race in this year's MTB World Championships as a member of Team USA!

I'm raising money to help pay for the trip to World Champs in Lenzerheide, Switzerland. The plane tickets and ground fees are costly, so any help would be very much appreciated!

World Championships has been my ultimate goal for the past two years of racing in the USAC and UCI circuits.  This year, everything led up to National Championships and then Worlds selection--until seven weeks ago, five weeks before National Championships, when I fractured my right shoulder and bruised the muscles surrounding this joint, leaving me unable to ride my bike at all. Through focused physical therapy, mindset and meditation, nutrition, and sleep, I was able to heal myself and compete in Nationals.  I got third place in the cross country race and second place in short track. I learned that with extreme dedication, I can overcome any challenge.

So with this mindset, I go into World Champs excited to be chosen and ready to crush it after months and months of preparation and training! Thank you for considering to help me get to this incredible race!
