A GoFundMe campaign launched to help a 9-year-old skateboarder with autism named Spike to pursue his dream of becoming an Olympian.

Driven by his passion for skateboarding, he wants to go to a camp run by some of his idols, but his fundraising deadline is quickly closing in on him.

Spike's mother recognized his extraordinary talent and determination using his board.

Despite the challenges posed by his autism, Spike has shown exceptional dedication to mastering the art of skateboarding.

Intending to see her child succeed and overcome limitations, his mom turned to GoFundMe to rally behind his Olympic aspirations.

Skateboarding's recent inclusion in the Olympic Games has opened new avenues for young talents to shine globally.

This very prospect has ignited the 9-year-old skateboarder's dreams. He aims to showcase his skills and spread awareness about autism and demonstrate that no goal is beyond reach with dedication and support.

However, Spike needs your help to go to a skate camp to hone his skills and become an Olympic skateboarding star someday.

To learn more about Spike, you can visit his TikTok (run by his mother) @skaterspike1, and donate to his GoFundme here.
