Hi, My name is Maddi Harper and I'm fundraising to go compete and represent Australia in Malta at the IPF sub-junior/junior worlds in August 2024.

I'm a 15-year-old powerlifter from NSW and the U52kgs national champion, holding records for each lift (squat, bench, deadlift).

I am still at school, training in the afternoons and working on the weekends trying to save as much as I can, but traveling to Malta at that time of year will be expensive and I need help.

The sport doesn't fund flights and accommodation like some others do, and even though my parents are working hard and doing their best to support me it's still big trip with a big cost to cover.

The funds will be used to not only cover flights and accommodation but other things like food , competition registration fee and Uniform.

I would really appreciate any help I can get.

I would love to represent the country and compete internationally, so I'm currently making sure I'm training hard and putting in as much effort as possible to achieve my goals because having this opportunity is too big to give up.

• 2024 Sub Junior & Junior National Championship

1st place Sub junior U52kg

Squat105kg / Bench 75kg / Deadlift 140kg

Total 320kg (all 3lifts are National Record)

Thank you for your support

Maddi
