The story behind an Athlete is one of the most powerful tools at their disposal. Their sacrifices and perseverance isn't usually seen by the public eye, hidden behind the curtains of their success. I want to represent possibility for other aspiring atheltes that are also fighting to accomplish their dreams, no matter how big the challenges are that they will face. We are our own community ready to lift each other up. Each and every one of our stories has a powerful message to be shared. I'm Andrew Mackiewicz, and I'm going for Gold in Paris 2024.
