Note from Michael Hubbs
My name is Michael Hubbs. I am currently training for the 2014 Winter
Olympics. I plan to compete in the Short Track Speed Skating competition, as
the 1st Deaf Short Track SpeedSkater on Team USA. I am confident that I have
a real chance at making my dream to be a gold medalist a reality. I train at
least 30 hours a week at the Olympic Oval in Kearns, UT.
To make my lifelong dream a true reality, I am requesting your help. Through
your donations and my drive, determination, training, and focus on a dream,
we can successfully win the Gold in 2014.
By competing in the Winter Olympics, I hope to inspire the Deaf community
around the world and to help them realize that Deaf athletes can achieve
their goals in today’s competitive world. I want to inspire them to
visualize their dream and make it happen.
This year, my goal is to raise $30,000 to cover expenses including but not
limited to: new uniforms, short track boots, domestic and international
travel expenses, as well as Olympic training program fees.
My hope is that you will join me in reaching my goal. A simple donation, of
any amount, can be made online at
