Help me represent Wellington Wildcats at the 2018 World Ultimate Club Championships in Cincinnati.

Wellington

The Wellington Wildcats men's ultimate club are representing New Zealand at the 2018 World Ultimate Club Championships in Cincinnati in July. This tournament is the culmination of four years training, development, and hard work. The Wildcats won the National title in 2017 qualifying them to represent New Zealand at this tournament.

In ultimate, like many sports in New Zealand, athletes must find their own funding. Training, travel, equipment, accommodation costs, and tournament fees for this World Championships add up to over $7000. For me to perform at my best for New Zealand I'm seeking support towards these costs. It would be really helpful if I could cover the cost of the flights to Cincinnati so I can focus on putting 100% into training and competing.

The first rule of ultimate is 'Spirit of the game.' As a self refereed sport players from both teams must play hard, play fair, and communicate well not only with their own team but opposition players as well. In keeping with this spirit I want to offer something in return for everyone who helps me on this journey.

All donations are eligible for a fist bump or high five, donor's choice. Smiles for free.
