Kiwi-Kid trials from USA Field Hockey Team... Makes the Team... Yay! Now needs your help to further his career on the international stage!
Northland
Hi Team,
My names Grayson, I'm 18 I have just made the USA National Under 21 Field Hockey Team... man it feels weird saying that!
It began with my dad being American and myself qualifying for USA Citizenship...
Long story short...
I had an evaluation at the Olympic Training Centre in Chula Vista, San Diego, August last year...
National Coach liked what he saw...
He then sends me an invite to their National Trials earlier this month, again in San Diego...
Four day camp later...
And now I've been named in the International Team Travelling to Holland late March for a Tournament...
And then to Toronto, Canada in May for the Jr. Pan American Games,
In the hope of then qualifying for the Junior World Cup in Delhi, India in December
So, here we are!
Now comes the hard part and where you may be able to help me?
My Friends, Family, Teammates and Coaches have all supported me in such amazing ways, both physically and emotionally,
But the burden of financially supporting my goals and dreams has mostly fallen to my amazing parents
(I mean, trucking me around the country side week in, week out is one thing... but then two trips to San Diego... Real MVP's!)
So, its about time I took abit of the load off them in asking you to help me explore this amazing opportunity!!
Flights to and from Holland as well as accommodation while I'm there are the main costs I'm seeking to cover, as I'll be working to help pay the other cost involved,
But any donation towards my dream means that extra edge can be taken off the bank of mummy and Daddy, and is greatly appreciated!!
I'm willing to put in all the effort to see where this journey will take me, now its just a case of getting me there!!
So thanks for listening to my story and hopefully you may be able to givealittle to help this kiwi get some wings!
Thanks guys!
