Madison's road to Portugal.

  • Sad news.

      7 July 2025

    Thanks to everyone again for your wonderful support. Unfortunately, however, there has been an unwelcome development. One of the team had to pull out at the last minute, and no replacement paddler was available. This meant that Canoe Racing NZ had to withdraw their entry from that event. While some of the team could still compete in other events, Madison ended up staying home. This was all happening just before their scheduled departure, with the final decision being made only the night before they were due to leave.

    As you can imagine, this was extremely disappointing for everyone involved, particularly Madison.

    We are offering to refund all donations made via the Givealittle page, so if you would like to take up this option, please message us with your bank account details. Otherwise, all funds will be held in an account specifically for attending future international events.

    Thank you all again for your generous support.

      Really sad, that this happens. Hope seeing you next time racing in Europe! Enjoy this great sport, even sometimes unexpected thing happens. That’s life and makes us stronger every day! Kind regards tom

  • One third of the way there.

    Thank you to everyone who has kindly donated so far. In addition to this page, we have also just held a quiz night, which raised over $3,000. That means we have clicked over one-third of the $15,000 target.

    The team has just finished up at a training camp and are working hard to ensure their performance continues to build to peak for the competition in Portugal.

    Our next fundraising event is an exclusive screening of the latest Mission Impossible movie, on 5th June, in Christchurch. There will be ice-cream, popcorn, more raffles and lots of fun.
