Get Kelsey to the API Invitational!
Support my journey to Sydney to represent Christchurch in the Dodgeball API's!
Canterbury
Kia Ora, I am Kelsey Barrett!
I'm looking to raise funds to support my trip to compete on the international stage in Australia this October.
After securing a gold and a bronze medal at the Dodgeball New Zealand National tournament, I have been given opportunity to represent NZ in the Canterbury Vikings Women's and Mixed division teams facing up against 10+ different nations in the Asia Pacific International held in Sydney, Australia. This will be my first world stage event and I couldn't be more excited for the experience! I appreciate all of your support in helping me make this dream a reality.
Use of funds
This opportunity is not government funded and comes at a cost to individual athletes therefore this money will go towards the cost of flights, accomodation, transport and uniform fees required for the 8 day trip.

Day 1 (arrival) 10 October 2024
Kia Ora team! Just a wee update, I’ve landed safely in Sydney and have been making the most of the time I have to sightsee before competition starts on Friday (tomorrow). A few highlights: the opera house looks incredible up close. The blue mountains certainly live up to their name (thank you for the recommendation Robyn!) and I managed to not put myself in any danger of appearing on the latest episode of Bondi rescue. For photos of my trip as I go, keep an eye on my instagram page!
