Alexa Loo and the Kin Brothers

A failed olympian.
Two hard-working, determined brothers.
Two stories coming together because of a blog.
Alexa Loo was a competitor in the 2006 olympics and failed to gain a metal because she crashed and injured herself badly. Soon after, she lost all her financial supporters. What was she to do now? She simply could not give up on her dream.
Loo wrote a blog about her story and soon she had many followers. One of her followers read her blog and  had Loo tell her story on the radio and broadcasted her accident on MTV.
The Kin brothers heard of her and realized that they were alike- Loo and the Kins both being determined but financially incapable. The Kin brothers built up money from opening small grocery stores and working hard to keep they're dream alive. They soon had 28 stores open and decided to help Loo by putting her profile on their grocery bags. They also made and sold comic books about her. This helped her put her life back together. Her dream was possibly again with their help. Loo is even engaged now. Loo and the Kin brothers are now good friends and Loo is grateful for their help.
