In May, I'll be heading to America to race some of the world’s premier gravel events , including the legendary Unbound 200 in Emporia, Kansas, as well as Steamboat Gravel and Apex Gravel. These events bring together a world-class field, and I’m beyond thrilled to be part of them.

Gravel racing is a sport that I’ve turned to after starting my racing journey only two years ago. However, in Australia, opportunities for racing are limited, especially for athletes outside the U23 category. That’s why I’m branching out to the United States, chasing my dreams, and testing my abilities on the global stage. Unlike road racing, gravel racing is predominantly self-supported, meaning I’m personally funding my own travel, accommodation, and race entry.

Unfortunately, the start of 2025 has been quite challenging for me. I was involved in a bad accident with a kangaroo in Adelaide, which has significantly impacted my ability to save and work for this trip. Despite this setback, I’m still highly motivated and incredibly excited to race in America and give it my all.

Any support, no matter how small, would be deeply appreciated as it will help cover the essential costs for this journey. Your generosity means the world to me and will play a key role in helping me achieve my dream of competing at these world-class events.
