    ABOUT Riley-Jay Henry-Purcell

    Wishart, QLD

    Heya I'm Riley-Jay Henry-Purcell an aspiring World Athletics U20 Championships athlete.

    My performance in the recent Australian Track and Field Championships secured my initial selection in the Australian Athletics U20s Team that are travelling to Eugene, Oregon USA in July this year.

    My discipline of achievement is Discus. My Journey in Track and Field started 9 years ago and like many T&F athletes it has required a degree of sacrifice, dedication and perseverance.

    This accomplishment is not mine alone, there have been many who have aided me in my journey. Attending the World Athletics U20 Championships means the opportunity to pay it forward to those individuals. It means I get to represent something bigger than myself and be a visual representation for younger aspiring athletes.

    Your support will help alleviate some of the financial pressures that are associated with this achievement and allow me to focus on executing on the world stage.

    Every donation no matter the size will make a genuine difference in assisting me to step fully into this opportunity I worked so hard to achieve.
