WORLD CUP MEDAL FOR AUSTRALIAN PENTATHLETE, CHLOE ESPOSITO

At just 20 years of age and winning a World Cup bronze medal in the sport of modern pentathlon, Chloe is overwhelmed at her recent success both in Brazil and in the World Cup #1 in the USA where she finished 5^th.

“I’m shocked and surprised but really happy. I have been training so hard this year and last year and it has really paid off”, Chloe said in her post race interview in Brazil (interview can be viewed here http://chloe2012.adcu.com.au/).

Supported by her credit union, ADCU, Chloe blogs about her experiences via her website chloe2012.adcu.com.au and facebook and Twitter pages.

“ADCU member Chloe Esposito is an inspiring young woman and we are proud to support her as she works towards fulfilling her dream of winning a medal at the London 2012 Olympic Games.” ADCU CEO, Ian Doyle.

“We have been supporting Australians with their banking needs for over 53 years and we believe that it is important to give back to our community and support members like Chloe”.

To prepare for the Olympics, Chloe is participating in a number of international competitions including the World Cup Series.

To help pay for her Olympic preparation, Chloe needs to raise $60,000. These costs include her ongoing training, competition costs for the various championships in the lead up to the London Olympics, as well as her flights, accommodation, food and other expenses for these competitions.

Chloe’s journey to the London 2012 Olympics continues in Budapest from 12-15 April at World Cup #3 (http://www.pentathlon.org/2012worldcup3).

To support Chloe, donations can be made through the chloe2012.adcu.com.au website, merchandise can be purchased at any ADCU branch and you can follow her journey online.
