Oliver King is heading to Berlin to compete in equestrian and he's already raised the $9,000 he needs to get there...thanks to Grandad Ray and his friends.
Grandad told his entire community about Oliver's achievements and asked them to donate - they delivered!
Everyone from mates to his favourite coffee shop, local club, gym and even his bus driver got behind his grandson as he's set to compete at his first World Games.
Oliver is also the youngest member of the team at just 16 years old.
Nice work Grandad!
On reaching his target Oliver said, "A huge thank you to all my friends, family, businesses, neighbours and secret people that have supported me to meet my fundraising goal - three months ahead of schedule!! Having your support gives me the confidence and inspiration to train and focus on being the very best equestrian I can be."
