BETTY WOULD GO - SUP Worldcup China & Film

Donation protected
MOVE MOUNTAINS – Support BETTY to participate at the Stand Up Paddle (SUP) Worldchampionships in CHINA & produce an inspiring DOCUMENTARY-FILM !


Hi,

I'm Bettina from Hamburg (Germany), I LOVE Standup Paddleboard Surfing and ... I have a dream. 

It’s been a long time on my mind, but like many of us, I didn’t take the step. But now it's that time – because at the "golden age of 50” I got a ticket to participate at the World Cup!
 
My big goal is to compete at the ISA World SUP & Paddleboard Championships in China* 23. Nov - 2. Dec. 2018.
 
So, support me to MOVE MOUNTAINS and get me over there!

Last year I already pursued this dream, but I failed. I was mentally not strong due to the tragic suicide of my lovely mom, which was a dramatic shift in my life as you can imagine. So, suddenly struggling with an “emotional roller coaster” I missed the qualification for the event in 2017.

But finally, I got qualified for this year event. I'm back on track and now I go for my dream even stronger, totally excited to have the opportunity to participate this year.

(*Begin of July 2018 the organizer ISA switched the location from Brazil to China. )

I also want to share another passionate vision with you:
I would love to create an EMPOWERING DOCUMENTARY about my story and the magic of the ocean. It's called "BETTY WOULD GO. Ride Waves – Surf Life – Save the Ocean!"

This is why it's even more important that I can go there!

Unfortunately financing such a big project on my own is impossible for me. I need 3.600 € just for myself. This includes my flight, handling surf-equipment, accommodation, food, event-ticket, transfer & rental car. This calculation is based on the time of 2 weeks (1 week local training in advance to the contest and 1 week the contest itself).

So, to make my big dream & vision come true I would be very happy, if you would love to support me :)

Be sure, any small amount counts! Even 5 or 10 € helps me to get closer to my goal and would put a big smile on my face! Should the donations overall get higher, be sure every cent will flow into the movie-project.

THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!

If you have any questions, just contact me.


And now read more about me, my passion & dreams ...



I live with my family in Hamburg. Since 30+ years I'm passionate about waves and totally into surfing in all his varieties. My whole family is addicted to the great ocean-lifestyle as far as we can live it kind of "landlocked" in Hamburg. 

In 2010 I've discovered Stand Up Paddling (SUP) as my big new passion. Soon I got into race and wave competitions and won a wide range of titles, like multiple "German Vice-Champion SUP Wave" and "Hamburg Vice-Champion SUP Overall"

Something special about me is ...
I'm competing as an amateur successfully against 16-30 year olds and I'm over 50 years old. 
 
My mantra is “Do whatever is good for you”.

Even, going through the ups and downs of life I’m always the kind of person, that doesn’t give up. Who tries – with positive and powerful energy – to follow the ways life is unfolding. With this attitude I always love to empower others.

So, the idea of making a movie came up. 
 



“An inspiring documentary to EMPOWER YOUR LIFE by connecting you with the MAGIC OF THE OCEAN and sharpen the awareness to protect this life essential resource.”

Since the 1st GOFUNDME campaign went so well – I achieved the goal to cover my travel-expenses to the SUP Worldchampionships in China – people keep on asking me, how they can support me further on my film-project. So, I stretched the goal of this campaign.

Every additional Euro donated now goes 100% into the film & its distribution enabling us to spread our valuable message.

Stay tuned for more info's on this exciting project …
