Help Anton represent NZ in Canada and Puerto Rico

Hello, my name is Anton Down-Jenkins, I am a 17 year old from Wellington and I have been part of the Diving New Zealand National Squad since 2014.

This year I have been selected to represent New Zealand in Open Mens competitions at two FINA Diving Grand Prix Events being held in Canada and Puerto Rico. These competitions will be held at the start of April and May, and will be the biggest events I have competed in throughout my diving career, after competing at the Junior World Championships in Russia in 2014 and the Oceania Open Championships in Australia in 2015.

Diving is a mostly self-funded sport in New Zealand, and these events are very important for me to attend in order to be considered for selection for the World Championships in Hungary later this year and ultimately the 2018 Commonwealth Games.

In between these events, I have been given the opportunity to train in the United States and will be joining the rest of Team New Zealand who are all currently on diving scholarships at American Universities.

In order for my trip to go ahead, I have to self fund accomodation, travel and living expenses for the whole six week trip and I would really appreciate your help to get me there.

Any donation is gratefully accepted and every little bit helps!
