The Long jump is the event that requires precision, skill, and trust of your body. One false step you can either get hurt or embarrass yourself.
You have a fundraiser coming up, tell us about it.
My fundraiser is to help promote me as an athlete and bring awareness to other athletes in our community. I think that is Seattle could have my body while I’m training for the Olympic Games, I would have no reason to feel alone while I’m training.
Can anyone attend this event?
My event is for all ages, shapes, and sizes!
How can someone donate? People can donate online. Donate here
Any advice for someone wanting to make it to the Olympics or aspiring to be a professional athlete?
It’s important to have supportive fan base behind you to help you achieve the goals of becoming a professional athlete. Always remember it’s not about the fame and the glory as much as it is about giving back to where you came from.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years? In five years I will be hoping to make another Olympic Team. I would also love to get into coaching or event planning as a side job as well.
TITC really excited to have the opportunity to get the word out about Norris’s fundraiser for his 2012 Olympic Campaign. Seattle is a big city, but everyone can still come together to support one another. Come support Norris at the First Celebrity Auction at Citrus Lounge in Seattle on October 26th.
