My name is Aisha Chahal. I am 17 years old and train at Global Martial Arts in Prestons, NSW.

I started my taekwondo journey at the age of 5 and it has always been one of my dreams to

represent Australia on an international level.

Recently I competed at the junior world selection event in Sydney and placed first in my division.

Achieving gold in this selection event has given me the opportunity to represent our country at the

2024 Junior World Championships in Chuncheon, South Korea, taking place early October.

Across 2023 and 2024 I have had the opportunity to compete in 5 international competition’s and

have made the international podium 3 times.

Oceania presidents cup (2023) - Gold

Australian open (2023) - Silver

11 th Choi Young Seok, Thailand (2024) - Silver

With the guidance of my coaches these opportunities have expanded my knowledge and growth in

the sport of taekwondo.

In 2023 I also competed in:

Dutch open (2023)

Belgium open (2023)

Unfortunately, taekwondo athletes like myself often face significant financial challenges due to

insufficient funding opportunities. With your support and generosity, we can overcome these

obstacles and continues to pursue our dreams.

Covering the costs of travel, accommodation, training, competition fees, and uniforms is a significant

financial challenge. I am seeking donations to help with these costs. Any donation would be

immensely appreciated. Your support, regardless of the amount, will make a huge impact and help

me reach my goal of getting to Korea.

Thank you for your generosity.
