ALI And Her Family Would Like To Thank All Of Her Supporters

We would like to thank all of the clubs and organizations, businesses, and individuals, who contributed in so many ways to help make our journey to the Olympics a reality.

 To achieve the athletic goal of representing the
United States at the Olympic Games has
been an incredible honor and privilege. It’s a goal that couldn’t have been realized without the support and encouragement of so many people.

The fact that our whole family could be together in Beijing and share the Olympic experience, made it even more special. It will be a life-long cherished memory, and we thank everyone who helped make that possible. We appreciate all of your time and effort, generous financial donations, encouragement, kind words and friendship. We would also like to acknowledge all of the coaches who have been utilized throughout the years. Special thanks to those who volunteered their expertise to help whenever a need arose over this past Olympic year.

The support we’ve received has been overwhelming, and we will always be grateful.

The thirteen year journey to Beijing and back has been a long and memorable one.

We couldn’t have traveled it without you!

Thank You!

Sincerely,

Ali Bernard
Rocky & Sue Bernard
Abby, Andy & Annie Bernard
Angie & Justin Pozega
