Tonga Touch Rugby Asia Pacific Youth Cup 2025

Dear Friends, Family and Supporters,

I hope this message finds you in great spirits. I am reaching out to share some exciting and incredibly important news about my son, Charles Norman. He has been selected to represent Tonga in the upcoming Asia Pacific Youth Touch Rugby Tournament 2025, which will be held in Brisbane, Australia in May this year. This is a monumental opportunity, and it is one that Charles has worked tirelessly for.

Many of you may remember that Charles was a development player for the Men’s Open Touch Rugby Team during the previous World Cup in Nottingham 2024. His dedication, hard work and unwavering passion for the sport were recognised, and this new opportunity to compete at such a prestigious International event is a testament to his growth and commitment.

Representing Tonga on this stage is not only a personal achievement for Charles but also a chance for him to represent his faith, heritage, and country with honour & pride. This is an opportunity that many only dreams of, and it will take a lot of resources to make it happen.

In order to make this dream a reality, we are asking for your support. The costs associated with travel, accommodation, tournament fees, and other essentials are substantial, and your donations will directly help cover these expenses. Every contribution, no matter how big or small will play a vital role in enabling Charles to focus on his preparation and performance at this Tournament.

If you would like to support Charles in his journey to represent Tonga on this International stage, please kindly make your donation via GoFundMe page

We also understand that not everyone is in a position to donate financially, and if that is the case, we would greatly appreciate it if you could share this campaign with your friends, family and social networks. Your support, whether through donations or simply sharing this cause or a prayer, means the world to Charles and to all of us who believe in his talent and determination.

Thanking you in advance for your generosity, support, and belief in Charles as he embarks on this incredible journey. With your help, we know he will make Tonga proud!

With heartfelt thanks & ‘Ofa atu,

Craig Norman
