Aim for Gold: Supporting Vision Impaired Archery Australia’s Champion

In the world of sports, few stories are as inspiring as those of athletes who overcome extraordinary challenges to achieve greatness. Craig Newbery is Australia's current national records holder for Vision Impaired Archery. A true testament to resilience, determination, and the power of teamwork. After securing a silver medal at the 2023 World Archery Para Championships, this remarkable athlete is now setting their sights on the 2025 World Archery Para Championships in the Republic of Korea. But to make this dream a reality, they need your support.

The Journey So Far

The journey to becoming a world-class archer is no small feat, and for a vision-impaired athlete, the challenges are even greater. With unwavering dedication and the support of a skilled spotter—a crucial teammate who assists in alignment and participation—our champion has risen to the top of their field. Their silver medal win in 2023 was not just a personal triumph but a proud moment for Australia, showcasing the incredible potential of adaptive sports.

Why Your Support Matters

Competing on the world stage comes with significant costs. Travel, accommodation, equipment, and training expenses add up quickly, and for a vision-impaired athlete, the need for a spotter doubles the financial burden. This campaign aims to raise the necessary funds to cover these expenses, ensuring that both the athlete and their spotter can represent Australia at the 2025 championships.

Your contribution will directly support:

• Travel Costs: Flights to and from the Republic of Korea for both the athlete and their spotter.

• Accommodation: A safe and comfortable place to stay during the competition.

• Teamwork: Supporting the unique partnership between the athlete and their spotter, which is essential for success in vision-impaired archery.
