Make Talia's races overseas a reality.

$8,700 of $8,500 goal
Given by 56 generous donors in 8 weeks

To contribute to Talia's fundraiser for Oceania Championships and World U20 Championships happening this year.

Auckland

After a successful 2022 NZ Track and Field Nationals in Hastings in March where Talia won Gold in the Women's U/18 100m & 100mH. Talia has been training hard for the past few years to achieve these great results, and with her 100m time (11.76sec) Talia is the fastest 15yr old in New Zealand history.

Talia has been selected to represent New Zealand in both Oceania Athletic Championship and U20 World Championships. She will be a part of a team of 12 making her travel with 11 other athletes selected to represent New Zealand at the World Junior Championships from the 1st to the 6th of August in Cali, Columbia. Beforehand Talia will be spending a week on a pre-camp in Miami with the other athletes of the NZ Team; from there they will be travelling to Cali for World Juniors... As one can imagine the costs involved are substantial and with Athletics NZ's contribution she still needs to pay $7000 to cover all the expenses alongside another $3000 for the Oceania Championships. So we have decided to help contribute to her exciting upcoming journeys.

It has been Talia's lifelong goal to represent her country in the Black Singlet, and she will be working hard to make everyone very proud.

Any contribution/ support towards her funds would be so much appreciated.

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.
