Help Bailey score for Australia!
Donation protected
We are seeking support for Bailey McNicholl to represent Australia at the U21 World Deaf Basketball Championships to be held from 7th to 15th July 2018 in Washington DC, USA.
Bailey was diagnosed with a severe to profound hearing loss when he was 2 years old. He received hearing aids at this time and at 7 years of age received a cochlear implant to help him hear. Bailey has never let his deafness stop him from achieving his goals or participating in all aspects of life, particularly basketball. Growing up in country South Australia has meant that Bailey has been very isolated as a Deaf Hard of Hearing individual, with limited opportunities to meet other Deaf people.
Taking part in the champs will allow him to combine his love of basketball with the opportunity to meet and make friends with many deaf individuals from Australia and around the globe, something that would otherwise not be possible
We are so proud of Bailey for making the Australian team and now we need your help and support to make this a reality.
