Hi,

My 14 year old son has recently been selected to compete in the 2024 U15 National State Championships in Wollongong (NSW) in the middle of July. Braith has been playing since he was old enough to walk and kick a ball, he lives and breathes this sport. His dream is to become a professional Football player so to be successful in earning a spot in this team has made him realise that anything is possible if you work hard and never give up. As you can imagine he is excited and honoured to be given this great opportunity. However with any sport there are costs involve.

Braith is a motivated, dedicated and talented young player and gives his all in every game and every training. In addition to Braith already training around 6 times a week for Football through his local club Dolphins FC, FQ Team Whitsunday Coast and the Mackay State High School Soccer Academy it is also required that Braith attends a number of additional trainings in Brisbane to prepare him for the tournament. As we are from a town called Mackay this requires us to fly several times or drive 11hours each way for him to be able to attend these. As you can understand with the cost of living and all the travel this is not going to be easy to afford but as a parent you do what you can for your child to help them reach their goals and dreams in life.

Any amount that is contributed to help support with his training travel expenses, registration to participate in the event and accommodation would be forever greatly appreciated.

Australian Sports Foundation is tax deductible. Please help us reach our goal to send our son away so that he can represent his state in the sport that he loves and trains hard for.

Thank you.
