Fundraiser for New Olympian for Totyo Games

Calgary, AB - A pioneer in a sport set to be introduced in the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo hopes to raise the money she needs to continue her journey through an artistic fundraiser next week in Calgary.  Hailey Daniels, 27, has been fighting to have women be allowed to compete in canoeing in the Olympics for the past few games and she says it's been a battle from the start.  "Our sport was in the exact same situation as women’s ski jumpers where the men were the only ones in the Olympics but the women were not. So, we had to go through a gender equality appeal and just try to have our sport be Olympic."  www.fundraising-ideas.org
