Help Fund My Oceania Champs & Europe Racing Tour

Hello team!

I've recently been chosen to represent New Zealand in the women's 1500m at the Oceania Championships in Fiji this coming June (Fun fact: I won the 1500m at the 2008 edition of this event as a junior!... here I am, still kickin'). Following this, I'll be jetting off to the US and Europe to continue my pursuit of getting as close to that Olympic qualification mark as I can.

As many of you are aware, this is entirely self-funded and comes with a significant financial burden. I've crunched the numbers, and I anticipate that covering flights and accommodation for both the Oceania Championships and the subsequent five weeks of racing in Europe will require a minimum of $10,000.

Last year, I embarked on my inaugural European racing season, and it was a game-changing learning experience. Thanks to the generous support of many of you, that experience is what ultimately propelled me to achieve personal bests in races from the 800m to the 3000m during this year's New Zealand/Australian domestic season. The impact of that support was huge!

If you find yourself in a position to lend a hand, maybe even for the second time, your support would mean the world to me. Every little bit counts!
