Hi, I’m Shemaiah James, a proud Australian triple jumper, and I’m raising funds to support my 2025 European competition season — a crucial stepping stone toward qualifying for the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo.

My goal is simple but massive: secure a spot on the Australian team by finishing inside the Top 36 in the world through the World Athletics Ranking quota.

Right now, I’m:

• Ranked 31st on the Road to Tokyo list
• 54th in the overall world rankings
• Coming off a Season’s Best of 16.38m
• And have previously been ranked as high as 27th globally

I’ve worked relentlessly to climb the rankings, and I know I have what it takes to represent Australia on the world stage. But to keep earning critical ranking points, I need to travel and compete across Europe — and that comes with significant costs: flights, accommodation, meet entries, physiotherapy, and coaching.

This season isn’t just about numbers — it’s about pushing my limits, chasing a lifelong dream, and doing my country proud. Every donation, no matter the size, brings me one step closer to Tokyo and fuels a campaign built on hard work, resilience, and heart.

If you've ever believed in the power of sport, the underdog story, or the spirit of national pride, I ask for your support. Together, we can make Tokyo 2025 a reality.

Thank you for backing this journey — let’s make history, together.
