I'm thrilled to share that I've been invited to join the Philippines Women’s National Lacrosse Team at the 2025 Asia-Pacific Women’s Lacrosse Championship - World Qualifier! With hard work and support, I'll be competing alongside my teammates from January 6-11, 2025, on the beautiful Sunshine Coast in Australia. This championship is especially meaningful, as it marks the first time a women’s team from the Philippines will participate in an international qualifier. Representing both my family and my heritage on this global stage is a dream come true.

However, getting there requires significant resources for travel, training, and equipment. I’m reaching out to friends, family, and supporters to help make this journey possible. Any donation, big or small, will make a huge difference and bring me one step closer to proudly representing the Philippines in this historic event. Thank you so much for any support you can provide—every contribution brings me closer to the goal and means the world to me!
