Help Heitor Represent New Zealand at the National Ninja Championship! 🥷🇳🇿

Auckland

We’ve just received some incredible (and last-minute!) news: our 13-year-old son, Heitor, has been invited to compete in the National Ninja Championship in Melbourne, Australia! 🏆 This is a historic moment, as it’s the first time New Zealand will send athletes to this competition, and we’re so proud that Heitor will be part of this team.

Now, the challenge is making this adventure possible! 🚀 Unfortunately, the sport has no sponsorships, and Heitor will need an adult to accompany him, stay with him, and help him get around the city during the championship. The costs are high, so Heitor is seeking all the support he can get to help cover the expenses.

Why are we here?

To make Heitor’s dream come true, we need help to cover:

✈️ Airfare (Auckland to Melbourne, round trip) for him and a companion.

🏨 Accommodation for at least five days to cover the championship, plus one day for course familiarization.

🚗 Daily transport and meals.

💪 Extra training to prepare him for this big moment.

Who is Heitor?

Heitor is an amazing kid! 🎉 Born in Brazil, he moved to Auckland before he turned two. He is homeschooled, curious, full of energy, and passionate about parkour, which he’s been practicing for five years. This passion developed the skills that qualified him for the National Ninja Championship!

Heitor is thrilled to have the chance to represent New Zealand, the country he now calls home. It’s the realization of a dream, and with your help, we’re sure it will be an unforgettable experience.
