Meet Melbourne's own, Theodore "Teddy" Kaing. A 13-year-old talent with dreams as high as his Taekwondo kicks. Teddy's incredible dedication to his sport has earned him a spot to represent Australia in the prestigious 2023 Cadet World Taekwondo Championships taking place in Bosnia from August 28th to August 31st.

Teddy is not just a promising athlete, but a symbol of the multicultural fabric that makes Australia great. Born and raised in Melbourne with Chinese roots, he represents the diverse, vibrant, and inclusive spirit of our country.

However, Teddy's journey to the world stage involves significant costs. We need to raise $10,000 to cover round-trip travel from Melbourne to Bosnia, accommodations during the championships, nutritious meals to keep him at his peak performance, competition-approved uniforms and equipment, as well as a contingency for unexpected expenses.

That's why we're launching 'Inspire a Champion: Help Teddy Shine at the Cadet World Taekwondo Championships'. We need your help to make Teddy's dream a reality. 

Your contribution is not just financial - it's a show of support for Teddy, for the dedication of our youth in their chosen fields, and for the unity and spirit of our community. Every donation will bring Teddy a step closer to his dream. 

Let's rally behind Teddy and help him represent Australia on the global stage. Together, we can inspire a champion.

Thank you for your support!
