Hi, I'm Caitlyn Bowell, a 25 year old Sprint Canoe athlete and Paediatric Nurse from Brisbane. Ever since I was 11, I’ve been passionate about physical and mental wellbeing and I’ve had the goal of being an Australian Olympian. I still remember the thrill of winning my first medal in a sporting event. Since then, I’ve been State and National Champion in three different sports, I’ve dedicated countless hours to training, pushing my limits, and striving to be the best I can be. Overcoming injuries and balancing my studies with training has been challenging, but my love for Sprint Canoeing keeps me going.

My ultimate goal is to compete in the 2028 LA Olympic Games. Achieving this would not only be a dream come true for me but also a proud moment for my family, community and supporters.

I am seeking to raise $10,000 to start supporting my athletic ascent towards the 2028 Olympic Games. These funds will be crucial in covering the costs associated with intensive training, specialised equipment, and interstate and international travel for competitions.

Each donation will directly impact my ability to purchase necessary gear and equipment, pay for physio and rehabilitation expenses and travel to qualifying events. With your support, I can focus on my training and performance without the added stress of financial burdens.

Your contribution will not only help me achieve my personal goals but also inspire young athletes in my community. By reaching the Olympics, I can represent my country and become a role model for aspiring athletes, showing them that with hard work and determination, anything is possible.

Supporting my journey means more than just aiding an athlete; it’s about fostering the spirit of perseverance and ambition. Together, we can create a ripple effect that motivates and encourages others to pursue their dreams, no matter the obstacles.

Join me on this exciting journey by making a donation. Every dollar brings me one step closer to the Olympic Games and helps turn my dreams into reality. Thank you for your support!.
