Hello,

We are reaching out to share the exciting news that Bradley has been selected in the Australian Raptors Rugby Academy, scheduled to embark on a tour of Japan in January2025. This presents a thrilling opportunity for Bradley, and we approach you with a humble request for financial support from our local community, expressing our utmost respect and gratitude for any kindness and generosity extended.

Bradley has dedicated immense effort to reach this milestone in his journey, and the prospect of touring internationally while playing rugby is a dream realised for him and his fellow teammates. We are committed to organizing fundraising initiatives within the local community to support this endeavour in any capacity.

The Australian Raptors Rugby Academy is devoted to fostering promising rugby talent and offering avenues for skill refinement, invaluable life experiences, and representation on the global stage for Australia. As part of this commitment, selected academy players are provided with opportunities for overseas tours, which not only broaden their rugby perspectives but also contribute significantly to their personal and athletic growth.

The Australian Raptors Rugby Academy program encompasses more than just the international tour. It entails Bradley's participation in community-based events, attendance at all training sessions, a comprehensive training and resilience camp, engagement in cultural and behavioural development sessions, and various other activities throughout the rugby season. This program stands as a pivotal juncture in their journey towards becoming well-rounded athletes and conscientious global citizens.

Any support or opportunities to aid our family in raising funds for Bradley would be immensely valued.

Thank you

Melissa & Charlie Follington
