Kia ora e te whānau,

I'm thrilled to announce that I’ve qualified to represent Aotearoa at the Stand Up Paddle (SUP) Surfing World Championship in El Salvador! This is an incredible opportunity to compete against the best in the world and showcase the hard work and passion I’ve poured into this sport. But I need your support to get there: travel, accommodation, and competition costs add up quickly. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings me one step closer to riding those world-class waves. Thank you for helping make this dream a reality!

Use of funds

Money will be put towards travel, accommodation, and competition entry fees

There are only three more weeks left to donate before I head off to the World Championships, and I’m so incredibly grateful to everyone who has already supported me. Every message, donation, and kind word has made me feel so loved and encouraged. It truly means the world. Knowing I have such amazing people behind me is giving me extra motivation and excitement as I prepare to compete on the world stage. Thank you all for helping me chase this dream!
