Anthony has setup a GoFundMe account for expenses to attend the New Balance Nationals and USA Championships. Any donation you can make big or small will help Anthony reach his goal of $1,000.

“This year has been nothing but great opportunities and big accomplishments. So far my track career has been amazing as I sky rocketed in performances to put me on a national scale. But the only thing that’s holding me back from being able to attend these events is lack of funding. These are once in a lifetime opportunities and it would be amazing if I could attend New Balance Nationals and USA Jr. Championship to have a chance to represent the United States this summer in international competition. This money will be going towards my hotel and travel expenses to and from both competitions.” (via Anthony’s GoFundMe)
