Eddie's Olympic dream begins

$130 donated
Given by 5 generous donors in one year

We need help to cover costs related to the North Island Golden Gloves tournament and the National Tournament at the end of the year.

Auckland

A year and a half ago Eru (Eddie) began his journey in the world of boxing at Wreck Room gym under the tutelage of Coach Imran Khan and Olympic Coach Cam Todd. At the end of 2017, he transformed from a student struggling with school and life at CLS Avondale, to becoming the Consortium Dux for ACES Alternative Education.

Boxing helped him not only find his calling in life but also find himself. I have had the pleasure of seeing Eddie develop not only into a fine boxer (he's won his first 2 amateur boxing fights) and more importantly become a young man committed to his family and community.

I act as a mentor for Eddie for his boxing and also wider life.

Use of funds

Travel, accommodation and equipment costs for Eddie's boxing journey. Any surplus will be applied to future tournament costs.
