Hi, I hope that this message finds you well. I’m reaching out to share an exiting opportunity and ask for your support.

My name is Alberto Allan, and I’m a dedicated 14-year-old biathlete from Australia, competing around the world. The main components of this sport consist of cross country skiing and target shooting. As you may know, snow is scarce down here in Australia, another reason why I need to travel overseas if I want to stay at a high level. Over my 8 years of experience, I have trained hard and pushed myself to become the best I can be. And I am proud to say that so far my efforts have payed off. I am the current National champion for my age in three different countries. Australia, Hungary and Austria. Ever since starting this incredible journey, I have always been fascinated by the Norwegians, a nation that is extremely prominent in my sport. The way they effortlessly glide across the snow, how they always hit the center of the target, they are really masters of their work. But they, just like any other person, weren’t born with such qualities, it is the result of not only immense dedication and skill of the athlete, but of the coaches as well. My dream is to travel to this country and train with the best of the best, learn all there is to know. Geilo, a village in central Norway, is home to one of the most prestigious sport schools in not only the country, but the world. It is a school in which countless champions have emerged from. I believe this school would give me a chance to excel to new heights, in a sport I so greatly love. However, attending this school comes with significant expenses, including travel, lodging, equipment, and schooling/competition fees. That’s why I am reaching out to ask for your support. My fund raising goal is $12,000, but any contribution, big or small, will make a meaningful difference. Your donation will help me pursue my passion, and represent our nation with pride.

Thank you so much for considering my request. Your encouragement and generosity mean the world to me.

With gratitude,

Alberto Cielo Allan
