Getting ready to hit the Hill with Women’s Sports Foundation athletes Nancy Hogshead-Maker, myself, Donna de Verona, Lillian Greene-Chamberlain, Sarah Hughes.
Ready to go.
I got the chance to meet with Senator Bennet of Colorado. We talked about skiing and how to get more opportunities for girls in sport.
There is a lot of ground to cover on Capital Hill so we got a chair as well.
I will never forget this trip.
Possibly, a glimpse into my future?

Tomorrow I will be on Capital Hill participating in lobbying visits supporting the high school athletic data bills and Title IX in general. However, there is a blizzard going on in DC right now. I heard if the snow continues the government shuts down. So I will keep you posted and make you sure you follow me on twitter for step-by-step action. http://twitter.com/greteeliassen
