Help Lake Nash Young Guns get a team bus
Donation protected
Hi Everyone, I am creating this GoFundMe campaign for the Lake Nash Young Guns. Lake Nash also known as Alpurrurulam is a remote community that lies on the NT and QLD borders.
In this remote outback community are a team of young men that have grown up with a footy in their hand and have a passion for AFL like no other. The Lake Nash Young Guns have had many struggles over the past few years to get to their games which are held in Mount Isa a QLD Town that is more than 300kms away.
Not only does this passionate team struggle with transport to and from games, but they struggle to have food to provide them with the energy they need to get them through a full game of footy. The team are lucky if they are able to hunt a kangaroo on the way into town as this will be their dinner Friday night before game day Saturday.
The team trains on a red dust oval , mostly bare foot and shirtless just to ensure they are ready for their opponents, footy is a lifeline for this team and one that the whole community supports. The team bus broke down many years ago , so most weekends they use what ever cars are road worthy to travel the 600km round trip, sometimes breaking down along the way, but even the car trouble cannot keep this dedicated and passionate team of young Men from Alpurrurulam away from a game of footy.
We are starting this GoFundMe to ask for donations and assistance towards the Lake Nash Young Guns getting a team Bus to transport the team the 600km plus round trip to Mount Isa every weekend as living remote trying to find the fuel money which exceeds $300 weekly is just something the team cannot afford.
The teams passion for Footy keeps them fit , healthy and their mental health strong. The young men in this team train hard weekly and like to keep healthy and promote footy in the community as a way to help the younger generation to stay out of trouble as you can understand living remote there is not many positive activities for youth in this part of outback Australia to participate in.
Any Donations and support is appreciated , We are hoping to raise enough to get a new or second hand bus to transport the team into Mount Isa so we can keep our community team going.
Thank you for taking the time to read our story.
