Olympic Hopeful Wants to Help Young Women Fund Their Big Dreams

While you were out partying this past weekend, World Cup Ski Jumper Abby Ringquist was competing in the US Olympic team trials for Nordic Ski Jumping. After placing second in the competition, she joins Cheddar to tell us how she's helping other young women fund their big dreams. Ringquist worked three jobs to self-fund her travel and expenses to compete on the World Cup and Olympic levels. She is paying it forward by teaming up with non-profit 1,000 Dreams Fund ("1DF") to become the face of their new national fundraising campaign, #FundGirlsOntheRise.
