Welcome to My Rally Campaign

     My name is Skyler Cummings and I represent the United States in the sport of judo. I am from Brooklyn, Ct and I train at the Mayo Quanchi Judo and Wrestling Club in Coventry, RI.  I recently travelled to Reno, Nevada for the Cadet World Team trials and won the -52kg division, which qualified me to represent the United States at the World Championships in Santiago, Chile August 9th -13th as well as the Cadet Pan American Championships located in Cancun, Mexico on July 1st and 2nd. Judo has been a huge part of my life since I was 7 years old, starting out recreationally, and quickly switching to a more serious athlete. I've travelled to many places nationally and internationally to compete and train with some of the best in the world.

Why I'm Raising Funds

      The costs associated with getting to these 2 events are very expensive.  There are also many training opportunities between now and then which would help me prepare for the Pan Ams and the World Championships and based on performance there, the opportunity to qualify for the 2018 Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires, Argentina.  Any amount contributed to this fund will go directly toward the cost of plane tickets, hotels, food, and any other costs associated with getting me closer torward accomplishing my goals.

How I Got Here

     I have been doing judo for nine years and have accumulated many National Titles, as well as a gold and a silver at the Infantile Pan Ams, a bronze at Senior National Championships, and many other national and international medals. I've travelled to El Salvador, France, Bahamas, Belgium, Argentina, Canada, and England, as well as all over the United States to compete and train. I am currently the #1 ranked judoka in the Cadet (15-17 years old) division, #1 in IJF Junior (18-20 years old) division, and #2 in the Senior (20+ years old) division. I am hoping to be competing in Senior International competition by the end of this year with my ultimate goal being able to represent the United Stated in the Olympics.
