Help me achieve my climbing goals!

Northcote, Auckland

Hi, my name is Luka and I am a young rock climber from Auckland. Last year I competed in the NZ National Champs and took out first place in my youth category. As a result, I have been chosen to represent New Zealand in the world champs in Korea. This event will take place in August this year.

The start of my climbing passion began 2 years ago when I was 12 and I fell in love with the sport. I found the challenge, satisfaction, and the additional competition in climbing have motivated me to train and get as skilled as I can. This opportunity will be an amazing experience and a big step up from competing in NZ. Being given the chance to climb with international climbers, travel, represent my country and be amongst like-minded people is just beyond anything I could ask for.

As you know commitments like this aren’t exactly cheap, and unfortunately climbing is not funded in New Zealand. Currently, I am thinking of ways to best cover the trip, and I have roughly 4 months to raise $7000

So how can you help?

Any donation will be very much appreciated, big or small!

Sharing the link to this page would also be much appreciated!

THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking the time to read this.

Thanks,

Luka
