I would put this...

Hi, my name is Philip Mahoney.

I’m proud to share that I’ve been selected to represent Victoria in (sport) at the 2026 Special Olympics Australia National Games, taking place in Melbourne from 19–23 

October.

Being selected is a huge honour, and I’m so excited to compete alongside athletes from across the country.

Your support can help me cover vital costs including travel, training, uniforms and accommodation. 

Any and every donation counts towards my dreams and this amazing opportunity to compete. 

Plus through the Australian Sports Foundation, your contribution is tax deductible and will directly support my journey to the National Games.

Thank you so much for your support. It means the world to me and helps make this 

special opportunity possible.

Kind regards

Philip
