Meet Eden: Athlete of the Month

Eden | 13 years Old | Swimming

For Eden, the water is a place of calm. She has ADHD and swimming has helped her regulate the levels of hyperactivity, calms her mind and allows her to focus better.

But for Eden's parents, the cost of swimming was significant. The funding they have received from donors like you through Athletics4Kids has reduced the stress they feel around the cost of sport. "Thank you so much, we really appreciate the financial support A4K has contributed," they shared with us recently.

Eden chose competitive swimming because it challenges her, both physically and mentally. It's the best of both worlds for her, she loves to compete alone but she has her team mates to support her too. She's learned a lot about herself including time management, sportsmanship and life balance and has gained experience handling the mental side of competition -- like navigating wins and losses.

So, to the donors like you who made it all possible, your generosity isn't just changing lives, it's giving kids like Eden the chance to defy expectations and dive headfirst into their dreams.

Every $200 you give helps keeps kids like Eden in sports through our Sport4Life Grant Program. Please click here to give generously today.
