Hi everyone,

I’ve been given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to travel to Brazil to play rugby while representing Capital Select Rugby Union. This opportunity means more to me than I can fully put into words.

Rugby has shaped who I am. It’s been there during the hardest moments, taught me how to stand back up when I’m knocked down, and shown me the power of family, sacrifice, and heart. Every practice, every match, and every challenge has led me to this moment — the chance to represent my team, my community, and everything I believe in on an international stage.

Playing in Brazil isn’t just about rugby. It’s about stepping far outside my comfort zone, immersing myself in a new culture, and proving to myself that dedication and hard work truly matter. I’ll be wearing the colors of Capital Select Rugby Union with pride, playing alongside incredible, talented rugby players, and carrying not only my own dreams, but the support and belief of everyone who has helped me get here.

Unfortunately, opportunities like this come with significant financial challenges. Travel, lodging, training fees, equipment, meals, and other necessary expenses quickly add up. I’m asking for help to make this dream possible. Every donation — no matter the amount — directly supports my journey and brings me closer to representing Capital Select Rugby Union in Brazil.

If you can’t donate, sharing this page or sending encouragement means more than you know. Your support reminds me that I’m not doing this alone.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for believing in me, supporting my journey, and helping me chase a dream that started with nothing more than love for the game.

With endless gratitude,

Michelle
