<div>For the past 8 years, Roller Derby has been more than a sport to me — it’s been a passion, a community, and a huge part of who I am. From my very first training session, I set myself a big goal: to one day play Roller Derby overseas.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That goal is now within reach.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve been accepted to play with the <strong>Jewish Roller Derby team</strong> competing in France at the <strong>Men’s Roller Derby World Cup</strong> at the end of April 2026. This is an incredible honour and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to represent my community, my sport, and years of hard work on an international stage.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I won’t be going alone; my brother Brett from Crossroad Media will be travelling with me, documenting the experience through photography so I can share this journey with everyone who supports me. Together, we want to capture not just the games, but the people, the culture, and the spirit of international Roller Derby.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why I Need Help</strong>
</div>
<div>Getting to France and staying there isn’t cheap. Between flights, accommodation, transport, and competition-related expenses, I need to raise approximately $10,000 to make this dream possible. I’ve done everything I can to prepare on the track — now I need help getting there.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What You Get (Besides My Eternal Gratitude)</strong>
</div>
<div>To say thank you, for every donation, I will hand-draw a truly terrible portrait of you. And I mean terrible in the most loving way.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Examples are posted so you know exactly what you’re getting into.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>To receive your portrait:</strong>
</div>
<div>Make your donation public, or
</div>
<div>If you’d rather not, message me privately and I’ll still happily draw you (poorly).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why This Matters</strong>
</div>
<div>This opportunity represents years of commitment, resilience, and belief in a goal that once felt impossibly far away. With your support, I can step onto the world stage and play the sport I love at the highest level — something I’ve been working toward for nearly a decade.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’re able to donate, share, or cheer me on from afar, it all means more than I can say. Thank you for helping turn this dream into reality — and for embracing the joy of questionable art along the way.
