Goal Updated – Adjusting to Keep the Journey Moving  23 March 2026

We’ve made the decision to adjust our fundraising goal from $10,000 to $8,500 to better reflect the current situation and keep things realistic.

While progress has been slower than hoped, Theon remains fully committed to this opportunity and is continuing to put in the effort both on and off the court.

We truly appreciate the support received so far—it means a lot. Every bit of help still makes a difference as we work towards making this tour possible.

Thank you for continuing to support Theon’s journey.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
