My name is Bella Moran and I am a 16-year-old rugby union player from Grafton, NSW. I have recently been given the incredible opportunity to represent the Wolves on an international rugby tour to London and Paris. This tour will allow me to compete against international teams, learn from experienced coaches, challenge myself at a higher level and experience different countries while representing my community with pride. It is an opportunity that I know will help me grow not only as a rugby player but also as a young person.

Over the past few years, I have been fortunate to represent my school, region and state in rugby. I attend Grafton High School and was selected in the North Coast Girls Open 7s team that competed at the NSW State Championships, where I was honoured to receive the Coaches Award for Best Team Person. I have also proudly represented NSW Country and continue to work hard to improve as both a player and a teammate.

Like many representative sporting opportunities, this tour comes with significant costs, including travel, accommodation, uniforms and participation expenses. To make this dream possible, I am working hard through fundraising, sponsorship and the generous support of family, friends, local businesses and our community.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, will go directly towards helping me attend this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Your support is an investment in my development as an athlete and a person. I will represent my team, my community and everyone who supports me with gratitude, respect and pride.
