Hi , my name is Lachlan Hort. I have been selected in the Australian Softball U23 Men’s team to play in the 2026 Softball World Cup to be held in Columbia in April / May. Australian men’s softball is not funded at any level of government, sporting body or corporate sponsors, so it is up to each individual player to pay their own levy to cover uniform, flights , accommodation etc. My levy for this World Cup campaign is approximately $10,000. I would appreciate any help in raising funds to help me get to the highest level of softball and represent Australia. It is a privilege and an honour to represent my country on the world stage. I am working hard at training and at the gym to ensure I am at my peak to play. Any donation is greatly appreciated.
