Support NZ Handball's historic journey to global recognition at the Asian Championship 2024; contribute to our campaign!

Wellington

In the realm of handball, New Zealand stands as a small yet determined community of skilled players. In January 2024, our national men's handball team is set to participate in the Asian Men's Handball Championship, a pivotal World Championship Qualification event that carries the potential to mark a historic milestone for our nation.

Success at the Asian Championship could propel us to unprecedented heights – the first-ever representation of the New Zealand Handball Team at the IHF Men's Handball World Championship. This achievement would not only underscore the dedication of our players but also bring global recognition to our modest yet proud handball community.

The path to this moment has been characterized by rigorous training and substantial sacrifices. Many players, committed to this cause, have made personal sacrifices to proudly represent our nation on the international stage.

As we approach the tournament, we seek the support of our wider community. Your contribution will directly contribute to covering essential expenses such as travel, accommodation, and training facilities, ensuring our team is well-prepared to compete at the highest level.

This isn't just about sports; it's about showcasing the resilience and skill of New Zealand athletes on a global platform. We invite you to be part of this journey, to contribute to our campaign, and to witness the potential making of history as we aim for success at the Asian Men's Handball Championship.

We did it! Thank you. 29 January 2024

This update is the final message you will receive from my give-a-little campaign. I’ve been overwhelmed by your support and generosity over the last few months. I hope that you felt a part of this journey because you made the difference.

In early 2023 I made the decision to commit to making history with the NZ Men’s Handball team. I had a goal; I wanted to be a part of our first win.

I didn’t know how I would make it a reality. I just started a new job, committed to wedding my beautiful fiancee and hadn’t played for over a year. The odds were not in my favour.

At a whim, a colleague suggested I make a give-a-little page. That’s where you joined the journey. Whatever it is that moved you to donate to my cause, it made an impact.

Since starting this page, you have donated to the sum of over $889. This helped to me to attend essential training camps and let me know that people out there want to see our team succeed.

Now here we are, one win recorded that can never be taken away from us, set as a challenge for the next generation of Kiwi Handballers.

Not only winning, it’s also the journey that led us here. Since feeling the support from my community I found the courage to start Southland Handball. I hope that this club will see the same success.

As a final message of thanks, I invite you to to look over the photos that taken by the NZHF Facebook page. Those moments were made possible by you. I am extremely grateful for your donation.

Yours sincerely

Aston
