Olympic Hopeful Lolo Jones Story and Giveaway (Closed)

U.S. Olympic hopeful Lolo Jones has an amazing story.  She was raised by a single mother, and has four siblings.  Lolo’s mom worked two (sometimes three) jobs to support her children.  Lolo started running track in grade school, and has been doing so ever since.

Lolo failed to qualify for the U.S. Olympic team in 2004, but she did not let that stop her.  With hard work and determination, she was able to gain the #1 hurdle ranking for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.  She ended up placing 7th in 2008, and is determined to do better at the London 2012 Olympic Games.  Good Luck, Lolo!  I’ll be cheering you on from my living room.

You can follow Lolo’s story at www.followlolorun.com.

P&G has partnered with Lolo in donating $25,000 on behalf of Family Dollar to the P&G Team USA Youth Sports Fund.

“Growing up we didn’t have a lot of money so my mom really had to stretch her budget,” Jones said. “My family really benefited from the great values we received on P&G productsfrom Family Dollar.”

In order to help spread Lolo’s story, and spread the word about her website, P&G has provided a giveaway for my readers.  One winner will win the following gift pack:

Tide® Pods, Febreze® Auto Air Freshener, Downy® Unstoppables (full size), Crest® 3D White Toothpaste, Clairol® Lash Blash Mascara – all in a reusable Family Dollar shopping bag

This giveaway begins now, and is open to US only.  You must be 18+ to enter.
