I have recently been given the incredible opportunity to travel to the Cook Islands to play rugby with Shockwave Rugby. I am raising funds to help cover the costs of travel, accommodation, rugby expenses and everything involved in making this opportunity possible.

Rugby means so much to me because it has given me a sense of belonging, purpose and community. I am passionate about using rugby to inspire young First Nations people and those from rural communities to chase opportunities, believe in themselves and never be afraid to step outside their comfort zone. Being able to play in the Cook Islands would allow me to grow both as a player and as a person, while experiencing a different culture and building connections through the game I love.

With your generous donations and support, I hope to make this opportunity a reality. Every contribution, no matter how big or small, will make a difference and help me get one step closer to representing myself, my family and my community in the Cook Islands. I am incredibly grateful for any support, whether that be through a donation, sharing my fundraiser or simply cheering me on throughout this journey.
