Hi everyone,

As some of you may know, I have been given the opportunity to represent New Zealand again as part of the Junior Tall Ferns team at the U18 FIBA Asia Cup. I am feeling incredibly grateful to wear the black jersey again, this time in Malaysia during October. Words cannot describe how much this means to me. I understand the privilege that this is and I will be training hard over the next coming months to prepare as best I can.

There is a user pays financial cost for each team player to participate, therefore I am working around trainings while also creating this fundraising campaign. There is a $3500 fee involved to participate which covers flights, ground transport, accomodation, team fees, training and development, playing kits, insurance etc. I am grateful for any assistance received as I completely understand that times are tough. Not everybody is in a position to contribute in a monetary form but I would truly appreciate you reposting and sharing my campaign just as much.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story, I am so grateful for each of you. I can't wait to make you all proud. 🇳🇿🖤
