WE DID IT!
WE’RE GOING TO BEIJING!


On Saturday, May 17, 2008, I captured the #1 one spot on the four woman Olympic Team!! I will compete at the Olympics on Aug. 10th!

Thank you to everyone for all of your support, emails, phone calls and prayers!! I couldn’t have done it without you.

Almost three years ago, my life was busy with my three kids, my gymnastics business, Roach Gymnastics,Inc., and re-election campaigns for my husband, Dan Roach.

I remember the day well when I turned to my husband and said, “I Have an Idea!” That idea was to return to weightlifting after taking five years off, and pursue my Olympic Dream. Now, here I am only weeks away from the 2008 Beijing Olympics!

I would not be in this position without a lot of help, so thank you to my coach, sponsors and everyone supporting me, especially my husband and three kids!

Thank you for all of your support! A number of you have asked how you can donate to help with training and travel costs. I have set up a PayPal account for that purpose. I couldn’t do this without all of the wonderful help from my family, friends, fans and sponsors!

Thanks again for visiting,
Melanie Roach
