We’re raising funds to support 6-year-old Leo Melia’s development in grassroots karting. Leo is a young Cadet driver from Beachmere, QLD, who is passionate about learning, improving his skills, and racing with focus and discipline. Our goal is to fund the essentials he needs over the next two years — including a kart and engine package, safety gear, coaching, race entries— to give him the best foundation for growth in the sport.

in Q2 2025, Leo was awarded a Bright Future Grant by MP Ariana Doolan in recognition of his potential. In Q3 2025 Leo was announced as a Parolin Australia - Factor Development Driver on a multi year agreement - The youngest driver in world motorsport to achieve this title and in Q4 2025 Konstrukt and Kart Wraps came on board to support his journey. This project is designed to support his journey in a way that encourages consistency, safe development, and strong values around effort, resilience, and responsibility

As Leo’s parents, we’re committed to managing this campaign transparently and responsibly through the Australian Sports Foundation. Every contribution helps give Leo the tools he needs to practice, race and continue building his confidence on and off the track.
