Help send Lea Newman to the Youth Olympics in Dakar, Senegal! Let's go New Zealand 🇳🇿 🥊

New Brighton, Christchurch

My daughter Lea Newman has been selected by the New Zealand Olympic Committee to represent New Zealand at the Youth Olympics in Dakar, Senegal, from October 30th to November 13th 2026.

Lea is a true testament to passion and perseverance. She first laced up her gloves at just nine years old and has trained relentlessly ever since. Her selection is not only a proud personal milestone but a huge moment for New Zealand sport. It follows her strong performance at the Futures Cup in Bangkok earlier this year, where she finished equal 9th.

Lea will first compete at the International Golden Gloves in August before heading to Africa. It is an incredible honour to represent New Zealand at such a prestigious event. We’d like to thank everyone who has supported her on this journey.

Thank you! 🇳🇿🥊

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.
