Help Thomas, age 12 get to the 2019 Seido Karate Australia International Benefit Tournament.

Osu, My name is Thomas. I am 12 years old and I have been practicing karate since February 2012. This year I have been invited to take my Junior Shodan grading (Black belt) As part of my training for my promotion I have an amazing opportunity travel to Sydney, Australia to participate in the Seido Karate International tournament

I am dedicated to my Karate journey and train several times a week as well as helping to teach junior student classes. Over the last two years I have been selected as training partner for two other junior students who successfully attained their Shodan Grade, so I am more than aware just how much training and commitment is needed.

The trip to Sydney is expensive but I have taken on a part time job assisting to teach in an after schools STEAMS programme, my Mum is helping me organise a raffle and my Dad is helping me to make meditation stalls that we will sell to help raise funds for our trip.

If you could spare the price of barista-made coffee, the cost of a flight to Sydney, or an amount somewhere in between, I would be immeasurably grateful for your support and owe you big time! Osu
