Special Olympics has enabled me to travel while playing a sport I love that helps keep me fit and healthy.Qualifying to represent Australia
Will you get me to the World Games?
I'm so proud to have been picked to wear the green and gold at the World Games in Berlin.
To be part of an Australian team and go overseas will be a dream come true. But I need to raise $9,000 to get there. That’s a lot of money and I need your help!
Will you please donate today and get me to Berlin? I promise I will do my best and make Australia proud. If you donate through this page YOUR money goes directly towards MY fundraising goal.
You can donate any amount you want, but I like these amounts:
$64 because it represents each athlete
$28 because it represents each official
$92 because it represents the whole team
$150 because it’s just a good number!
I’m told that donations of $2 and over are tax-deductible, so please donate and help me get to the Games.
I’ll let our team know that you’re awesome because you support us. Thank you!
