Hi I’m Aden (16 year old), i’ve been doing taekwondo since I was 5. I recently won Gold at the Australian Taekwondo Junior World Selection event. And have been selected to be apart of the Australia Team to compete at the 2024 Junior World Championships held in October in South Korea.

I am apart of Australia’s top 10 male and 10 female taekwondo junior athletes (15-17yrs), comprising the Australian team.

I began doing taekwondo in 2013 at Martial Arts Spirit in preston’s, NSW. I train 6 days a week including early morning sessions before school, and after school training to maintain my skill and fitness levels.

My achievements include,

2017, 2019 and 2021 National champion

2023 Australian open bronze medalist

I also competed at the 2021 Cadet World Championships held in Bulgaria.

Elite athletes often rely on the support of their families and communities to fund their dreams, including expensive domestic and international travel for training and competitions.

Australian Taekwondo has informed us that funding is not available for this competition, and we have been encouraged to seek community support.

I understand times are tough, any tax-deductible donation you can make would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your support.

Estimated cost per athlete

~$4000
