I'm trying to raise funds to help me compete for Western Australia in swimming at the National Special Olympic Games being held In Melbourne in October this year, where I was selected to represent. This is important to me as it provides an opportunity for me and my fellow athletes to represent our state against athletes from around the country in the sports we love. For me it is swimming which I have been doing my whole life and training for weekly, over the last 6 years. I'm looking forward to giving it my best and hopefully bring home some medals for WA. The WA team will be helped by Special Olympics Western Australia who will provide assistance to manage our attendance, supervision, coaching, flights, and accommodation.
