Help Ken lead New Zealand's team at the Karate World Cup in Japan as captain, after years of dedication to JKA shotokan karate.

Wellington

My name is Ken and I have been training in JKA Shotokan karate since I was 6 years old.

This year, I have been given an honourable position as a team captain for JKA New Zealand, competing at the Karate World Cup in Gunma Japan!

Karate has been a major part of my life, where I have learnt many aspects of life such as commitment, focus, diligence, discipline and respect through many years of hard training.

I’ve had the privilege of competing at the national level since I was 14 and at the global level at 17. This will be my third time representing New Zealand, and I am deeply grateful for the support and belief that has brought me to this point. However, as you can imagine the journey to the World Cup comes with significant expenses.

If you're able, any contribution would help me lead the New Zealand team and support our efforts at the World Cup in Japan.

I am truly thankful for the generosity of my supporters and promise to give my all in representing New Zealand with pride and dedication.

Thank you for your time and support.

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.
