You can find Aly's GoFundMe & RallyMe links on our GO FUND ME! thread, but I'll also include them here: Alyson DudekGo Fund Me: www.gofundme.com/alysondudekRally Aly to Sochi!Rally Me: www.rallyme.com/rallies/129-------------------- Olympic speed skater Aly Dudek seeks online supportBy Gary D’Amato of the Journal Sentinel Aug. 1, 2013 "This is our full-time job," Dudek said. "I'm at the rink six days a week. Someone told me once you'll never work so hard for so little money, and it's true. But that's the Olympics. We don't do this for the money. I love the sport. I love what I do."
Dudek interacts with her fans, sending a personal thank-you email to those who donate $25 and a shout-out on Twitter and Facebook to those who donate $50.
For bigger donations, Dudek sends an autographed athlete card and swag such as U.S. Speedskating or "I Rally Aly!" T-shirts. For $1,500, the donor gets a personal learn-to-skate session with Dudek at the Olympic Oval.
Dudek launched her RallyMe page last week. Her goal is to raise $15,000 in 60 days.
"I'm keeping my fingers crossed," she said. "I'm not real pushy with this kind of stuff, but I think I need to be. It's not just, 'Give me money.' That's not the point. It's more, www.jsonline.com/sports/olympic-speed-skater-aly-dudek-seeks-online-support-b9965289z1-218044071.html

Aly is currently skating in Olympic Trials, but here are her results from World Cups 3 & 4 (the two Olympic qualifying competitions). The team’s overall performances in these 2 World Cups qualified the USA to send 3 ladies to the Winter Olympics in Sochi - of those 3 who go, 3 will skate in the 500M & 1500M, and 2 will skate in the 1000M. We did not qualify a Ladies Relay team.
