For athletes like bobsled pilot Jamie Greubel, the chance to compete at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi costs a pretty penny. In order to afford the privilege of going for gold, the 30-year-old had to build a strong and agile fundraising regimen to complement her workout routine. Each season can cost between $15,000 and $20,000, even with her rent and food provided for by Olympic organizers. Every split second counts in her sport and so too does every dollar saved, through crowdfunding or an in-shape balance sheet.
