    ABOUT Manawa-Rose Komene

    Manly West, QLD


    I’m fundraising to support my journey to the IVF Va’a World Sprint Championships in Singapore in August 2026. Being selected to represent Australia and Brisbane Outrigger Canoe Club with my fellow team mates is an incredible honour, and these funds will help cover essential training, travel, and accommodation costs so I can give my full focus to preparing for this world‑class event.

    Outrigger canoe racing is my passion. I love the challenge, the teamwork, and the connection to culture that this sport brings. Competing on the world stage is an opportunity to race against the best, learn from amazing athletes, and represent my culture with pride. Your support means the world to me and helps make this dream possible.
