Hi my name is Miyo Pitesa and I’m a 17 year old student who has been given the opportunity to compete at the Waka Ama World Sprint Champs held in Hawaii this August!

Recently, my team and myself (Vakamanu) competed at the 2020 Waka Ama Sprint Nationals, where we managed to go undefeated throughout all our races, claiming 3 Golds in total, and also setting two new NZ records, which have qualified us to now compete against the beset of the best from each country. We’ve trained extremely hard for 12 months and the results are a huge testament to our hard work.

With great opportunities come great costs, and it would mean a lot for a little bit of help to get me and my team there! Your sponsorship will help me and the team cover the costs of flights, accomodation, race fees, uniforms, transport, food, and heaps of other stuff!

With these donations, I promise to commit to my trainings and will definitely not let you all down!

Thank you and God Bless ❤️

Hi everyone, due to the global effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been advised by IVF Va'a World Championships 2020 that the event has been cancelled. For those who donated in February, I have been in touch already and will refund you the money given it has already been paid to us. For those who donated in March, Givealittle will process a refund given the funds have not yet been paid to us. Thank you again for all your support".
