Help Me Represent NZ in Volleyball

One of my goals I set last year was representing my country and this year I have accomplished this. I have been selected and will be a representative in the NZ U19 Junior Mens Development Volleyball Team who will be travelling to Australia-Canberra to compete in the Australia Junior Volleyball Championship in late September 2015.

I was first introduced to volleyball when I was 11 years old. This was a foreign sport to my family. When I played my first game I thought it was really hard but it was something I could enjoy playing. I gave rugby league and rugby ago but still wanted to play volleyball so when I got to secondary school I carried on playing and there was no looking back.

During my secondary years I have achieved the following - in 2015, NZ Junior Mens Development Volleyball Team, winners NZ Secondary School Division 2, Captain of the Whakatane Senior A Volleyball Team - In 2014, North Island Youth Mens Volleyball Team, Eastern Bay Of Plenty U17 Volleyball Team and a member of the Whakatane Senior A Volleyball Team - In 2013, Eastern Bay Of Plenty U17 Volleyball Team and a member of the Whakatane Senior B Volleyball Team - In 2012, Central Bay Of Plenty U15 Volleyball Team, 2nd Place in the Bay Of Plenty Wide Secondary School Competition, Captain of the Whakatane Junior A Volleyball Team - And in 2011, a member of the Whakatane Junior B Team.

As part of this journey I need to raise $2700 just to get myself over to Australia. This money will help towards flights, accommodation, playing and travel uniforms so any contribution will be much appreciated. So excited to be representing NZ, so thank you in advance for any contribution made to my "give a little" page. It is very much appreciated.
