💙 Help Support Dominick Messano’s Journey to the USATF Para National Championships 💙
Dominick’s story is one of incredible strength and determination. At 18, he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a rare bone cancer. After years of chemotherapy, surgeries, and ultimately an above-the-knee amputation in 2024, he refused to let adversity define him.
Today, Dominick is chasing his dream of becoming a Paralympic track and field athlete, competing in the 100-meter dash and high jump. In his very first season, he qualified for the USATF Para National Championships in New York City after just one meet—an extraordinary achievement.
Beyond athletics, Dominick works alongside his family at Dino’s Detail and serves as the jumps coach at Solanco High School, inspiring young athletes every day.
As he continues his journey toward the national stage and one day representing Team USA in the Paralympics, he faces significant expenses for specialized coaching, adaptive equipment, travel, lodging, and competition fees.
We are asking our community to rally behind Dominick. Every donation, no matter the amount, will help remove financial barriers and allow him to continue pursuing his dreams.
This fundraiser is through a 501(c)(3) organization, so any donation made through the link is tax-deductible, and a tax receipt will be emailed to you. I’m also in the process of creating a video where Dominick narrates his own story, and I’ll be sharing that soon.
Thank you for supporting an incredible young man who embodies resilience, courage, and perseverance. ❤️🇺🇸
