Hello, my name is Ann, and I'm an elite pole athlete.

I've proudly represented Australia in the World Pole and Aerial championships for the past 3 years (2021 virtually, 2022 in Switzerland and 2023 in Poland).

I've recently qualified to represent Australia in the World Pole and Aerial Championships 2024 (again) after winning nationals. This time, I've qualified to represent Australia in 2 different categories- individual and doubles! The world championships are held in Sweden this year.

I'm reaching out for some assistance because the costs of training, travel and accomodation are starting to prove a struggle with the increased costs of living these days. While pole sport is a relatively big and recognised sport in Europe, it is still a growing one in Australia. For that very reason, everything from training to travel and accomodation, rehab and recovery have always been out of pocket expenses. Despite working full time, it is challenging to strike a balance between training and finances for extended periods.

Your contribution will support:

Training and studio hire times to maintain peak performance

Nutrition to ensure proper fuel for training and recovery

Recovery to ensure my body is in top condition to perform

Travel expenses including flights and getting around

Accomodation while competing in Sweden.

It is a huge honour to be representing the country for the world championships once again. Your help, input and support would be greatly appreciated in supporting my training.
