I am a Western Australian rowing athlete who has been selected to travel to Bulgaria and compete for Australia in the u23 world championships starting on the 27th of July. Most of the cost of the trip is subsidised by rowing organisations and the expectation is that the athletes will fund-raise the remainder. This leaves me in a position where I need to raise $7950.

I am thrilled and honoured at the opportunity to represent my country again, this time at the u23 world championships. I am looking for support on my road to Bulgaria in the men's quad.

I am in the final year of my commerce degree majoring in economics and finance and currently work casual shifts at the Swanbourne fish bar. With my full-time training load and living out of home, I find it hard to work enough to raise sufficient funds to cover the whole seat fee.

I am looking forward to getting closer to my long-term goal of competing at the Olympic games by achieving success on the world stage by competing for Australia at the under-23 world rowing championships held in Bulgaria this year. I am rowing in a quad with fellow Alex Rossi (Western Australian), Nick Blackman (South Australian) and Harry Fox (Victorian) based out of Perth. Enjoying working with these guys to push ourselves to achieve our best outcome.

I would greatly appreciate any support to help fund my campaign to go away and compete in the green and gold!

Cheers,

Johnson
