Crowdfund a Champion

I do like Rallying. If I'm honest, I secretly harbour a desire to sit in the navigators seat of a rally car calling the route instructions out to the driver as we negotiate forest tracks at high speeds.

"Seventy-five. Crest. One hundred. Easy right sharpens. Twenty. Hairpin left." As we speed to a fastest time on a stage. But what has that to do with anything? Well...

This pretty young lady is Louise Cook. Louise has a dream. That is to be the first Female World Rally Champion.
This isn't just an idle crazy dream, for Louise is actually quite good at Rallying. Scratch that, she's really very, very good at it.
In her first season in Rallying in the UK in 2010 she finished 10th in the National Championship and won the RC4 class. In her first season.
In 2011, She finished second overall in the Fiesta Sport Trophy in the UK and was female champion. That was her second season.
In 2012 she became the FIA WRC Production Car Cup Champion. The first female to win a non-female title. That would be in her third season, if you're counting.
Now Louise wants to compete in, and win the FIA World Rally Championship and be the first female to do that. Even competing in the WRC she would become the first woman since French legend Michele Mouton in 1982 to compete at the highest level in world Rallying.
But this takes money. Lots of money. Lots and lots of money.
Something Louise is well aware of. She has been promoting herself and her dream ceaselessly since then. Winning trophies and selling them, and then knocking on potential sponsors doors.
It's hard work. She's now turning to the "in thing" of crowdfunding so her fanbase and supporters can help her achieve her dream.
Over at her page at Idiegogo, she has outlined her dreams and plans and lined up some nice gifts for you should you decide to help her. You can spare twenty quid ( $31), can't you?
Her results so far would indicate that the dream is very achievable. You can help it become reality.
Louise will of course be over the moon when she wins the WRC for the first time. How good are you going to feel knowing you helped her?

Louise flying.
