I am an athlete playing for the Australian Men's Deaf Basketball team - "Goannas", which is the Men's National representative team for deaf basketball in Australia and is made up of the best deaf athletes throughout the nation. I have been a part of the team since 2015. I am reaching out to the community and friends for assistance with the costs associated with my attendance for this upcoming Asia Pacific Deaf Games 2024 basketball happening on 21st-29th September, which is qualifier for Deaflympics Japan 2025. I appreciate all the help I can get and look forward to making our nation, community, friends, and family proud. And the Asia Pacific Deaf Games (baskrtball) is happening on home soil! If you have capacity to do so, please consider assisting by donating, or sharing this page. FYI costs goes to costs of accomodation, uniform, interpreting, basketball courts ect.
