I would like to thank every person for reading my story and supporting my journey

Taranaki

Hi my name is Jen Allan and I am from South Taranaki. Im a married, mum of three childeren and I have been given the opportunity of a lifetime...to represent New Zealand on the world bodybuilding stage in Poland this May.

My love for the sport began when I signed up to a local Hawera gym..Kiwilife Health & Fitness.

I had never been to a gym and I had no idea what I was doing. So I set a goal...to be able to do one proper pushup. I focused and worked on my strength and I am proud to say goal achieved.

Last year I decided to set a new goal, to compete in the Taranaki regional N.A.B.B.A bodybuilding champs in the figure sculpting division in April 2018 and was so suprised and happy to have won my class.

With the support of my friends, family and Kiwilife gym I decided to have a go at Nationals October 2018. The competition was fierce but I was lucky enough to to win my class again, gifting my trophies to the gym and members that had helped make it possible.

I have now had the invitation to represent NZ in the NAC world championships in Poland May 25th. I have been training hard and would love to give it a go. I am so grateful for any donations and support to make this dream possible.

As they say "great things can happen when you step out of your comfort zone"

So here I am...the girl who could not do one real pushup, on my way to being a personal trainer and competing overseas.

I am living proof that YOU ARE capable of anything!!! With a bit of hard work dreams definately CAN come true!

I have never been very good with social media but once again I will aim to get out of my comfort zone and document this amazing journey on a facebook and instagram page. I will update this page with the links and any further fundraising events.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
