Getting Karen to Penticton - ITU Long Distance Triathlon World Champs

$1,050 donated

I want to help my sister get to Penticton to represent NZ at the ITU Long Distance World Champs.

Auckland

My amazing little sister has had a rollercoaster life, with many medical hurdles thrown her way. She has overcome things that could have knocked her down, and found the most amazing strength and determination to become a long distance triathlete. This year Karen came 2nd at the Port of Tauranga 1/2 Ironman, which qualifies her to represent NZ at the ITU Long Distance World Champs in Penticton, Canada in August this year. It would be a dream come true for Karen to be able to represent NZ at this event and I want to help her get there

I'm involved because I would love to see Karen standing on a podium, wearing a silver fern and receiving a World Champ medal.
