Hi I'm Maddelyn Marston also known as Maddy. I'm 16-years old, trying to achieve my dreams.

I first started running when I was 10, partaking in park runs, Little Athletics, school athletics and cross country. I knew it was something I loved and wanted to keep doing. I have made nine state teams which lead into six national teams. Making States and national teams for cross country and track were massive achievements and goals of mine.

In 2022 I made the national track team travelling to Sydney. I competed in the 2km steeplechase. I placed third in the country; it was amazing, and a dream come true placing at nationals.

December 2023 All school national in Perth. It Was not my time. After having a great season in preparation, I had a very disappointing race, falling at the first hurdle, with skin off my knees I did get up and finish the race. This was a very challenging time for me.

In April this year (2024) I competed at the Australian Athletics Championships in Adelaide. It was an awesome race. I managed to take away 1st place in the 400 metres hurdles under 18. To come away with 1st place and a PB at national level was massive dream and achievement of mine.

I have been selected to represent Australia in the Oceania games in Fiji in June 2024 in the 400m Hurdles. I'm so proud to be able to put on the green and gold of my country. It's been a goal of mine since I was 10 years old.

Iam currently seeking your support and financial assistance to attend the upcoming Oceanica games.

I aspire to represent Australia at the World Juniors and then to Commonwealth and Olympic level, in the coming years.

Any support would be hugely appreciated.
