Kia ora whānau and friends,

I’m incredibly honoured to have once again been selected to represent Aotearoa New Zealand at the IVF Va’a World Sprint Championships in Singapore this August as part of the NZ Elite Para Waka Ama squad.

This will be my fifth time representing New Zealand in Waka Ama, something I’m extremely proud of. Waka Ama has given me opportunities, connections, purpose, and the chance to compete alongside an amazing community on the world stage.

As with many international campaigns, there are significant costs involved, including flights, accommodation, uniforms, training, and competition fees. I’m currently fundraising to help make this journey possible.

Any support, big or small, will help cover essential costs and enable me to proudly represent New Zealand whānau and friends in Singapore.

Thank you for backing me, supporting my journey, and being part of this experience.

Ngā mihi nui, Karl

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.
