Fundraising to help a aspiring young rhythmic gymnast gain international competition experience, develop her skills & achieve her goals.
Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty
Hi,
My name is Polina Macfarlane, and I am a passionate young Rhythmic Gymnast based in Tauranga, training at Future Gymnastics.
I have recently been selected to represent New Zealand to compete at the following competitions:
1) VIP Trophy - Belgium
2) Portimão International Tournament - Portugal
3) Portimão World Challenge Cup - Portugal
This tour will allow me to train, gain international competition experience and learn from world-class coaches and athletes. I am very excited to have this opportunity to develop my skills & continue working towards my long-term goals.
I love the challenge, discipline, and creativity that this sport brings. In 2025 with the support of both my coach & family I moved into Senior International & began dreaming BIG!
Opportunities like this are incredibly exciting, but international travel costs can be significant. I will spend a total of 6 weeks away in Europe competing in the biggest competitions of my gymnastics career so far!
To make this tour possible, I am fundraising to help cover travel, accommodation, and competition costs. Any support—big or small—would mean so much and will help me continue growing as an athlete.
I would like to say a huge thank you to my Dad, who is doing everything possible to ensure I have the opportunity to pursue my dreams. We are extremely grateful for any support you can give, even sharing this page with friends and family would mean a lot.
Thank you for supporting my journey!
