Support Jackson and Nikau achieve their dream!

My best friend and I have been given the opportunity to go play 1st XV rugby for Hurstpierpoint collage over in England (a big private school) on a 4 month scholarship. I have been playing since I was 6 years old. I started playing my first games in Northland for Waipu, in bare feet. Nikau has been playing since he was 5 years old and started playing for Massey rugby club. We first met when I moved to Auckland and we played for the mighty J2 Massey Rugby Club team. We have played side by side ever since. We have represented Massey High School for 3 years playing for the under 15's with a Championship win last year. We are currently in the later stages of our season heading into the semi-finals for our 1st XV.

We have played for North Harbour coming through the grades. We wish to further our rugby careers and hopefully the experience from this opportunity can do just that. We are both grateful for the chance to play footy overseas as we both have dreamed of doing this for as long as we can remember! We never thought we would go at the age of 16 though! We need to raise $3,000 each, which will cover our flights over to the UK. We have limited time to raise these funds due to the short notice we have been given and the fact the English school term begins at the start of September.

Any support by way of donations would be really appreciated as we prepare for this unbelievable experience.
