Help Arran fulfil a long-time dream of Representing New Zealand at the World Championships in China

  • Some VERY sad news

    Well, last week I ordered a new Pro Spec mask from CCM which was certified to play in the world championships. It arrived last Friday...

    On the way to training (on that same Friday night!) at some point in the journey, the mask somehow found it's way out of my bag AND out of the trailer and fell onto the road at motorway speeds... getting run over and dragged along the rough chip seal underneath someones car, then spewed out into the ditch. When we retraced our tracks for the better part of the night, I was absolutely beside myself with the condition I found it in. It is vital that I acquire a new mask of similar quality before the end of June otherwise I will not be able to play in China. In light of this recent event, I am doing extra work to try and save enough money to buy a replacement, however, these masks are going to cost an enormous amount; just slightly less than $1000. Any help appreciated with funding a new mask. The money raised via this page will be prioritised towards flights, accommodation and then a mask in that order. Images show on right: before picture of the mask. On left: after.

    Thanks,

    Arran

    Hi everyone,

    I just got back from a very mentally and physically

    tough week away doing Whitewater Kayaking in the rivers around the central North Island with my course.

    To come back and see all these donations was quite overwhelming and humbling to see how many of you want me to do well at worlds and were generous enough to donate. You guys all rock!
