# 1 Champion - Miles Johnson!

My name is Miles and I’m thrilled to be one of the lucky racers competing in the River City Gravity Race Program—and I need YOUR help to make it to the finish line! 

On April 26th at Lakebottom Park, I’ll race head-to-head in my custom-built gravity car, all powered by science, innovation, and a lot of determination. But the excitement doesn’t stop there! The winner will represent our city at the All-American Soapbox Derby in Akron, Ohio this July—how cool is that? 

Here’s where you come in: I’m raising $750 to cover my race expenses, including registration fees, derby car kits, tools, and essential race day materials and expenses. Every contribution gets me closer to achieving my goal and fulfilling my racing dreams. 

Supporting this program isn’t just about racing—it’s about inspiring young minds (like mine!) to learn, innovate, and grow through science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM). Together, we can create a ripple effect of positivity and progress in our community.

Thank you for believing in me and in the power of our future leaders. Your support means the world—and I promise to race my heart out for our community! See you at the track! 

Warmly, 

Miles
