Given by 65 generous donors in 7 weeks

7year old Kiwi Kid, Bmxmata races at the BMXworlds in France.

Auckland

Above is Mata's Video- just press Start and it will PLAY! and please SUBSCRIBE.

I am a Solo dad who raises a quiet, shy 7-year-old Maori boy in Auckland City.

But what do you do when your child's passion allows him to represent New Zealand at the International - UCI Bmx World Championships in Nantes, France in July 2022.

I want to share with all kiwi kids, the Bmxracing community, and sports parents to be inspired by his once-in-a-lifetime journey wearing the New Zealand Jersey.

Matatini represents Maori values and language.

Kia kaha te reo Māori! Kia pai ngā rangi whakatā ki a koutou katoa.

Rērere ki te whaiao ki te ao mārama e.

E hokahoka ana ngā manu ki ngā tihi o whakaaro ki te manu whakatiripa o Ngā Whare Waatea marae, tō tātou kahurangi a kui Temuranga.

Kopaina atu ki tō makau, ki ō tupuna hoki e tatari mai ana, ki hawaiki nui, ki hawaiki roa, ki hawaiki pāmaomao.

As a filmmaker and this opportunity to share his journey on the internet to a wider community of diverse ethnicities, cultures, and religions, living in Aotearoa/New Zealand.

This event will positively transform the lives of the kiwi-kids attending the worlds, their parents, and their community. It will teach mata self-respect, self-discipline, self-confidence, and learning the importance of being a good sportsperson.
