Supporting a young biologist to compete at the International Biology Olympiad

Hi, I'm Nichole, one of the four students fortunate enough to be selected to represent New Zealand at the 2026 International Biology Olympiad held in Lithuania in July. As a part of the New Zealand team, I will be competing against the top young biologists from 80 other countries, sitting a total of 12 hrs worth of exams which I have spent the past two years studying for. However, travel costs to Lithuania are quite expensive right now. I'll be needing support if I am to be able to attend this competition and (hopefully) bring back a medal for New Zealand.

Any support, no matter how much it is, would be greatly appreciated.

Here's links to the pages of the other team members if you would like to support them too:
