This is a dream come true for Bradley as these opportunities don't come around too often. It is a great recognition to Fairfield Canoe Club with coaches Wen and Dee Tan for all the hard work they have put into him as well as Patterson Lakes Canoe Club with coach Steve Veigh where his journey started many years ago.

Bradley started kayaking at the age of 7 with his Dad. He started off in Marathon and is now also venturing out doing sprint. Bradley has paddled in the Murray Marathon in a double kayak with his Dad (he was too young to do single) and at the time he completed this, 404km race in 5 days, he was the youngest to have ever done so.

To represent Australia in Croatia is a great opportunity for Bradley to compete against the best in the world and gain skills and experience for his future journey. His dream is to represent Australia at the 2032 Olympics.

To be selected is a privilege but it is self-funded. Once again, we would be grateful for any donation support given to Bradley get him there. Support can also be by spreading the word to business owners you may know, who are keen to support a young, dedicated athlete with a bright future.
