Fundraising to help fund Andre's U19 worlds cycling race campaign.

Canterbury

My name is Andre Free, I am honoured to have been selected to represent New Zealand at the U19 Cycling World Championships, where I will compete in both the Road Race and Individual Time Trial against the world's best young cyclists.

Cycling has been my passion for as long as I can remember, and years of hard work have led to this opportunity. This season I finished 2nd in the Time Trial and 2nd in the Road Race at the New Zealand Elite National Championships, and I also achieved 2nd in the Time Trial and 5th in the Road Race at the Oceania Championships in Australia.

I am currently a Year 13 student and Monitor Leader at Christchurch Boys' High School, balancing my studies with high-performance sport. Every week I dedicate countless hours to training, with the goal of becoming the best cyclist I can be and proudly representing New Zealand on the international stage.

Competing at a World Championship is a dream come true, but it comes with significant costs, including flights, accommodation, equipment, and race expenses. I am fundraising to help make this opportunity possible.

Every donation, no matter the amount, will directly support my journey to the World Championships and help me compete against the best young riders in the world. If you're unable to donate, sharing this page would mean just as much.

Thank you for your support, encouragement, and belief in my journey. I am incredibly grateful for every contribution and the opportunity to represent New Zealand with pride.

Use of funds

Funds raised will be used for accommodation, airfares, food and insurance while I race in Canada. All funds will be used for this purpose.

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.
