Hi, I’m Millie Dillon, a 16-year-old rugby union player with a passion for the game and a goal to take my rugby as far as I can.

Rugby has become a central part of my life. I’ve proudly represented Maroochydore Swans (2024–2026, including the 2026 team) and Matthew Flinders Anglican College (2023–2025), where I’ve developed my skills, resilience, and love of team sport.

I’m a versatile player, contributing wherever needed — second row, back row, hooker, halfback, and as a goal kicker. I thrive on adapting to different roles and doing whatever the team needs. I also take pride in my leadership, using my voice on the field to direct play, support teammates, and keep our team connected and focused.

• Grow as both a player and a person
• Represent my community on an international stage

Why I’m Fundraising

Opportunities like this come with significant costs, including travel, accommodation, uniforms, and training expenses.

I am working hard both on and off the field to make this opportunity possible, and I’m seeking support from my community to help me get there.

How You Can Support Me

Every contribution, big or small, makes a real difference.

• Donate directly to support my tour
• Share my journey with others

What Your Support Means

Your support is more than just financial — it’s helping me:

• Represent my team and community internationally
• Continue developing as an athlete
• Build confidence, leadership, and life skills through rugby

I’m committed to making the most of this opportunity and representing everyone who supports me with pride.

Thank you for being part of my journey.
