New Plymouth, Taranaki

Over the past few years, disc golf has gone from something I enjoyed after school to something I’ve built my life around. This year I increased my training volume and have put everything I can into improving my game. This year has been a long grind of training in the gym, meticulously studying the throwing form, practicing putting, and learning the mental game, all in preparation for my trip.

This year, I was invited to the Junior Disc Golf World Championships, the most prestigious junior tournament. And in 2026 I will travel to Pennsylvania and compete against the worlds best. I'm so excited for this opportunity and proud to represent New Zealand.

Getting there isn’t easy. Flights, accommodation, tournament fees, food, and travel all add up to a cost far beyond what I can cover alone. I’m still juggling school, work, and training, and while I’m doing everything I can to fund this opportunity myself, I simply can’t make it happen without help from a wider community.

Your support through donating will directly help me get to Worlds and compete against the best junior players in the world. It’s not just a trip for me, it’s a chance to test myself against the best, represent New Zealand at one of the most prestigious tournaments in the sport, and bring that experience back home to continue developing my game.

Thank you for even reading this. Every bit of support means more than I can put in words, and it brings me one step closer to representing Aotearoa on the world stage.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
