Nigerian bobsleders need help to get to

The women are hoping to become the coolest competitors at the 2018 Winter Olympics. They have their sights on the bobsled course in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

The need $150,000 their GoFundMe page shows $12,845. I think the effort by these ladies needs our support. They give me hope.
