Donate to help Alix Bartholomew represent New Zealand DS team at the Pan Pacific Championships.

Hi Everyone

I am a black belt in Jiu Jitsu and have been training and competing for 8 years now.

The IBJJF Jiu Jitsu Pan Pacific Championships is being held in Melbourne Sports and Aquatic center in Australia from 27th-29th October and it is my first debut as a black belt. It is my dream to become the 2023 Oceania champion as a black belt in my division and open weight class.

I am a serious and passionate competitor as I feel it is important to represent and inspire woman and show the world what we are capable of.

This will be my third attendance in Australia over my competitive career. At my first attendance in 2018 I achieved 4 golds competing in Gi and No-gi, and my mission is to do the same again.

I put my heart and soul into my goals and in return I support, inspire and guide other jiu jitsu athletes and practitioners who wish to do the same or want to better their life in some way. This is my dream and I hope to make it a reality with your help.

Jiu jitsu is a self funded sport in New Zealand. Working and training both full time comes with its obstacles and financial strain. I am not able to fund my trip alone. I am asking for offers in help if assistance to help pay for flights and accommodation so I can focus on training to be able to represent and inspire women to believe in there dreams and go for it!

I know it’s tough times for many people so a little help goes a long way.

Any help is MUCH appreciated
