I am beyond grateful to have been selected into this year's U23 Women's 8+. I have dreamed of representing my country since beginning rowing at Queenwood under the guidance of Ciaran Glynn. Making this team would not have been possible without the years and years of support from my coach, Alfie Young, and Sydney University Boat Club, and I can't thank them enough for believing in me.

This campaign comes at a considerable cost. I have been living in the US, training with the rest of my talented crew and coach, while we prepare to show the world what we can do. Any donation would mean the world to me and support me in wearing the green and gold in Poland. I appreciate all the messages from those who have reached out already, and I couldn't have done it without every single one of you.

Lastly, I want to thank my Mum, Dan, Cha, Marcus and my beautiful friends at home who have picked me up many times throughout this season. I hope I can make you all proud!

Thank you, Tiff
