U12's Cal Ripken World Series

Hi, my name is Eli Lesoa and I'm 12 years old. I've been selected by Baseball New Zealand to represent New Zealand in the Cal Ripken World Series in August this year in Branson, Missouri, USA.

I've been playing baseball since I was 4 years old and all the hard work of living and breathing baseball has finally paid off. I was so proud of myself when I was named in the traveling squad but with this comes a big cost in trying to get to USA.

I would appreciate any help in donations, big or small as my family are trying to do their part in fundraising but are still a long way from getting me there.
