Fund for Ethan to compete gymnastics in the USA at the Valeri Liukin invitational
This fund is to help get me to the USA to represent New Zealand in gymnastics. I'm the first male in 18 years to be selected from my club.
Hawke's Bay
My name is Ethan Phillips, I'm 17 years old and I'm a gymnast from Hawke's Bay. I've been doing gymnastics for 14 years and as of recent I have been selected to represent New Zealand at the Valeri Liukin invitational in USA. This came as a suprise as at the trials i sprained both of my ankles and wasn't able to walk. My recovery is going well and I should be fit to compete well in the competition. I am the first gymnast to qualify from Omni gymnastics (my home club for 14 years) since 1997 so it would be a massive honour to be remembered there in future years.
The trip costs $4,500.00 and this covers flights, transportation and competition fees.
Uniform and food will also cost another $500.00
By donating you will help me cover the cost of travels and uniform, helping me attend my very first international competition and first experience of representing New Zealand in the sport i love, gymnastics.
Thanks for your support :)
Ethan Phillips.

Hey guys, sorry I've been so distant lately. I have been increasing my training time a lot and have also had to deal with end of year exams. I am heading off to Texas tomorrow morning and will compete this Saturday their time. I'm feeling really good and I can't say how thankful I am for all of you helping me get to where I am now. Without your contribution I wouldn't have been able to take part so I am truly grateful. I will let you all know how I got on when I get back so once again thanks to all of you I appreciate it so much.
