Kia Ora from the New Zealand Rose of Tralee,

Thank you so much for visiting this page and supporting me. I am still buzzing from the night that I was chosen to represent New Zealand in the International Rose of Tralee festival. I am so proud and honoured to represent my kiwi family and my home from home at one of Ireland’s largest and longest running festivals.

The support and well-wishes that I have received from near and far has been truly incredible. The last three weeks have been nothing short of manic, and I'm sure the madness isn't going to stop any time soon!

To get to Ireland for the festival I am required to fundraise for various expenses not covered by the Rose of Tralee organisers. I am really hoping that my supporters at home in Ireland and here in New Zealand will be able to assist me with the financial pressures of the event. I never like to ask for financial help, but any support at all would be extremely helpful and hugely appreciated. Please only support what you can, as they say in Tesco “every little helps”!

Thanks so much to everyone for your help and support, I couldn't do this without you. I am so grateful and lucky to have such a huge family of support all around the world!

See you in August,

Jo x
