Hello friends,

This fundraiser is here to just provide a little bit of financial freedom, so please join me on an incredible journey as I get ready to compete at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games in Para triathlon. Please feel free to follow my journey via my blog - https://jpparatri.wordpress.com/

I was born 3 months premature and subsequently diagnosed with cerebral palsy. The challenges posed by cerebral palsy plus the demands of training and international competition whilst juggling a full-time job have required unwavering commitment to excellence, dedication, and resilience over the years. This commitment has lead me to 3rd place at the 2022 World Championships and I am currently ranked 4th in the world in the PTS4 category.

However, reaching the pinnacle of the Paralympic stage requires more than just talent and perseverance—it demands substantial financial support. Unfortunately, I don’t call myself a professional athlete as I still work full-time to supplement the cost of representing Australia. Hence, your contribution no matter how big or small will directly fuel my journey by covering vital training expenses, travel costs to international competitions, and access to world-class facilities and accommodations.

In addition to providing the resources necessary for top-tier training and competition, your support will also alleviate the financial stress that accompanies competing on the world stage. By easing this burden, I will be able to focus entirely on my performance, maximizing my chances of success and standing on the podium at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.

I extend my deepest gratitude to those who have and will rally behind me as I embark on this extraordinary quest. For those that are reading and have got this far, I hope together we can make change and I can potentially be a catalyst to inspire countless others, especially those with a disability.

Thank you for your invaluable support. I may compete in an individual sport, but it really is the team behind the athlete who make it all possible. So, come join me on the road to Paris 2024!
