Yipee! I got selected to representing NZ in World Youth Rock Climbing Comp, Moscow.....Gulp, I now have to find the money!

Ariana was pretty excited to finally be selected to be part of a NZ team travelling to Moscow to compete in the world youth rock climbing competition. It had been her goal for the past 3 years, and after narrowing missing out in both 2016 & 2017, she has finally made it.

Now she has another big challenge! Raising the funds to go. It is going to cost her close to $8000.00. This covers accommodation, flights, food, travel, uniform and gym cost. (She will be training on walls in both Singapore and Moscow, as part of the teams preparation for the big comp) She has been working part time in the holidays and has some fundraising events planned, but she knows this is not going to cover everything, so would very much appreciate it if you could help her campaign and give a little too.

Ariana is 16 yrs old and has been selected for the under 18 lead climbing at the worlds. She is a year 12 student at Sacred Heart Girls College in New Plymouth. Climbing is her passion. She has been climbing since the age of 11 and is very honoured to be representing her country in a sport she loves.
