My name is Chinedu Udeh aka CJ and I've been selected for the Sydney South West U18S Rugby League team to trial for the CHS (Combined High Schools) team in Wollongong on the 25-28 May. I was blessed to have been selected a few years back for the U15s CHS team and although we didn't win the competition I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Unfortunately I was injured last year and wasn't able to compete for the rep teams so this year means a lot for me to be selected. I love footy with a passion and my goal is to one day play NRL.

I believe that my story will be an inspiration to other athletes who have returned from an injury. Anything is possible if you truly believe in yourself and never give up on your dreams. With hard work and dedication you can accomplish anything.

I'm trying to raise funds to help reduce some of the strain on my mum of the costs involved with playing rep sports. I'm currently at school in year 12 and preparing for our school footy competition which kicks off next week as well as preparing for this upcoming competition.

Any funds received will be used for travel and accommodation costs for this competition and the ones that follow (CHS and possibly the Australian School Boys).
