Fuel Reece’s Journey: Rugby Canada U20 to the World Stage

Hi, I'm Reece Thompson, a 20-year-old rugby player that has the honour of representing Rugby Canada in the Oceania U20s competition. My journey started at Barrie Rugby Club and Barrie North Collegiate Institute, and now I proudly play for the University of Victoria. After high school, I took a gap year to play rugby in Australia, gaining valuable experience and pushing myself against top international competition. I've previously represented Canada at the U18 level and now the U20s, and I am working tirelessly toward my dream of going pro.

Your support will help cover travel, training, and competition expenses as I continue to chase my dream. Every contribution brings me one step closer to achieving it. Thank you for being part of the journey.
