Seeking funding towards covering costs for a NZ U22 rowing campaign.
Nelson / Tasman
Hello, my name is Flynn Mercer and I'm a rower from nelson. I have made the U22 NZ rowing team and due to being a full-time student I am in need of help for funding this trip. Our team travels to Adelaide, Australia and competes in the Oceania U22 regatta.
I rowed throughout high school, starting in 2017. After achieving medals of all colours across 4 seasons ranging from south island to national titles, I gained a South Island U18 team trial. This was unsuccessful. However, this was an important moment for me; It showed that I could make a team, i just needed to keep my head down and work away at it. After a season of just keeping fit and not worrying about results, in 2023/24 I rowed for Cure Boating Club in Canterbury. Here I faced season of setbacks. After being very ill twice and suffering a stress fracture in my back, I was back to square one. I returned home to nelson to complete this most recent season with my friends. We saw much success, winning the club double and having a good time as a squad while doing so. Ultimately this led to my selection for a trial once again, allowing me to see through my goal I had set some time ago.
The money will contribute towards covering the cost of the campaign, this includes: Flights, travel insurance, accommodation, regatta costs, and team gear.
