The 15-year-old Wanganui Boys & Girls Gym Club member learned last week she had earned the right to attend the Women's Artistic Gymnastics Prime Invitational in Asia after a strong performance at the recent Auckland-Manukau championships. A trial competition was held for gymnasts during the championships at Steps 8-10 level.
Gymsports New Zealand athletes do not receive funding for national or international competitions.
The total cost of the trip and uniforms is $4500, and with the deadline of 21 August 2014 to make a $1000 deposit looming, the family is worried about being able to fundraise the amount needed.
Being one of four children, it will be a big challenge for parents Michel and Sanna Manning to cover the costs of the trip, so the family and the club are putting out feelers to the community for help.
