Last month I came first at the Australian Junior Elite Championships in Sydney, securing my place in the New Zealand team. This gives me little time to raise money. Athletes must pay $7000 towards the trip, plus costs for coaches and managers. Every donation is gratefully accepted and will help me achieve my goal of wearing the silverfern in Russia:)

CONGRATULATIONS ANTON -World Junior 3M finals  13 September 2014

There's a new photo on this web-site which shows the results from the preliminary round of 30 Divers in Group B 14/15 Boys. AMAZING! Anton led the way with the 5 compulsory dives. He dived coolly and with great composure. The scores started changing once the divers performed their optional dives. The scores were very close. He qualified 3rd. His coach James said 'Brilliant. What a class performance'. The finals saw the divers compete just their 4 most difficult dives. And Anton went in with the top compulsory dive score which was carried through. 'It was a tough final' - as the DNZ Manager, Lindsay, put it. Anton had another fantastic day at the pool and finished 8th. He has competed successfully at a World Class Level, his first major Elite international event. He is now known on that scene. His coach said 'If someone told me he would get to two finals before we left I would have been happy. We got two finals. Happy coach right here'. The selectors are rapt very pleased with the great representation for 'our country and sport'. Anton we are proud of what you've achieved and excited of what's to come. WELL DONE TO STEP INTO THE NEXT LEVEL OF SPORT. As Maria of Wellington Diving Club said 'Anton is proof that NZ can do it !!...He is up there with the BEST!!' http://www.finapenza2014.com/sites/default/files/springboard_3m_boys_final.pdf

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.
