I have been invited to fight over at the IMMAF QUEENSLAND OPEN on October 12 2019 in the junior 18-20 year old age bracket. I will no longer be using the money for my tattoo but for airfares, accommodation and training camp feels aswell as entry fees into the COMP.

For those of you who have graciously said, I am able to put your donation towards other things, I have put this towards completing my full sleeve tattoo on the 22nd of August. In the next few days, everyone who has donated will receive the option to keep the money in the givealittle or refund it back to your card as communicated via the messages either my parents or myself would have had with you privately.
For those of you that have not heard, there has been a miscommunication from the IMMAF to the NZMMAF, I will no longer be competing because the head of IMMAF doesn’t think that being 17 in an u18 event makes you non elgable. We have tried to fight this with the IMMAF community but they don’t want to make an exception for their mistakes. This has been a giant punch in the guts for me as I’ve put in all the hard work all for nothing. With only being 2 weeks out we had flights and accommodation booked which all now have to be cancelled for a cost. I have also decided to take a break from the whole fighting scene as this isn’t the first things have happened so I’ve made my decision.
Everyone who has donated has been contacted or tried to be contact by dad,mum or myself. For those of you who have come forward saying I can hang on to the money I cannot thank you enough for your support. Givealittle will be contacting everyone in reguards to refunding your money. There will be two options given by givealittle. The options will be along the lines of return money to your account or keep the money in the page.
I would like to say again a huge thank you to everyone who donated and helped support me along my journey.

Wow, wow, wow. I am absolutely blown away by the amount of generosity that people have shown whether that was by sharing my link and spreading the word or donatining.
I cannot thank the people enough who have donated to me and my "once in a lifetime opportunity". From the amazing $4,350 that has been donated so far, I have been able to cover a large majority of travel costs which has allowed me to help take my mind off trying to scrape money together so I am able to go and focus on my training even more.
The grind has been very hard from training Mon, Tue, Wed, Friday, Sat training harder and harder at each training, refining and polishing my moves and techniques.
With only 38 Days left, I'm going to be putting in the extra hard yards to allow the best possible chance I have of coming out successful.
