    ABOUT Helena Smith

    North Kellyville, NSW

    I’m raising funds to travel to 2026 World Masters Athletics Championships in Daegu, South Korea, where I will proudly represent myself and compete against athletes from around the world. Athletics has been part of my life since I was 5 years old, beginning with Hornsby Little Athletics and continuing through UTS Norths as a Senior, Open, and now Masters athlete. Since turning 30, I have competed in five National Championships, and in 2025 I travelled to Alachua County, Florida for my first World Masters Indoor Championships, an experience that challenged and inspired me to keep pushing further.

    As an independent woman and Primary school teacher, sport has always been a passion and a powerful outlet. I love the sense of community in athletics and the opportunity to connect with people who share a genuine love of participation and competition. While I enjoy running socially, my true passion lies in the throws; shot put, discus, javelin, hammer, and weight throw. Over the past five years, I have committed myself to improving in these events, working closely with coaches and fellow athletes to refine my technique. Progress hasn’t always been linear, but each setback has strengthened my determination to keep learning and improving.

    Your support will help make this journey possible by easing the financial pressures of international competition, covering registration, travel, accommodation, and essential preparation costs. Most importantly, it will allow me to continue pursuing a lifelong passion, represent my community on the world stage, and embrace the opportunity to compete, grow, and be inspired alongside athletes from across the globe.
