Thanks for Donating to "Team Bling"

Jessica Rossing, International Triathlete

Jess was born in 1985 in RAF Lakenheath, UK, and is a 2004 graduate of Fridley High School.  Jessica has been an athlete her entire life, and excelled as a member of the University of Minnesota Duluth’s (UMD) Track Team where her nickname became “bling”.  After studying Exercise Science at UMD, Jessica settled in Duluth and opened the Evolve training center in 2008.

Jess is a bit of a late bloomer discovering her talent for Triathlons after college. In September of 2011, Jess will travel to Beijing, China to represent the United States in the World Competition.  A strong finish in Beijing, will be her next step to fulfill her dream to compete in the 2012 Olympics in London, which could make her only the 2nd Summer Olympiad from the Northland.  

Thanks for donating to help Jessica travel to Beijing and to bring global attention to the region.  You may either attend one of the fundraising events listed below, or simply click on the donate now link to make a donation. 

If you make a donation of at least $30.00, you'll receive "The Jessica" a beautiful hand-crafted necklace created by local artisans.  This necklace represents Jessica's Olympic-bound journey.  The leather cord symbolizes the endurance required to compete in a triatholon.  The silver circle ring represents her Olympic dream, the star symbolizes her rising status, and turquoise is a reminder of her birth month and of her desire to represent United States in 2012 in her United Kingdom birth place.  Hand crafted with genuine leather, sterling silver and swarovski crystal, "The Jessica" is a symbol of your "Team Bling" membership

Jessica needs to raise a total of $13,000.00.  She has already raised 2,000.00 but still needs your help.  Thanks for your generous donation!
