Thanks for visiting my fundraising page to help me compete at the 2025 World Rowing Championships!

I am in Year 12 and have been selected as one of only 12 female athletes to represent Australia at the 2025 World Rowing Under 19 Championships! We will be competing this upcoming in August in Trakai, Lithuania.

It is such an honour to be selected as part of the small Australian team, especially as part of what is the first NSW-dominant junior womens 8 to ever be selected! We are 7 athletes from NSW and 2 from SA in our 8. My boatmates are Floss Hennessy, Maddie Swain, Tamara Bates, Grace Barrera, Mika Naito, Millie Cullinane, Zahra Taylor and our coxswain Melody Yin.

Our training campaign has already started in Sydney where we are training 6 days a week, and twice a day on many days. We are heading to Europe in July to complete a 3 week training camp at the AIS facility in Italy before going on to Lithuania to compete at the World Championships.

This is an opportunity I am so excited for, and am hoping to raise funds to cover seat fees ($8,000), accommodation, flights, equipment and the necessary medical examinations.

Please note that donations of $2 or more are fully tax deductible and are greatly appreciated!

Thanks for all your support,

Chelsea
