My name is Weston Hilditch. I am 10 years old and I am a proud Dimbulah local. I have a passion for sport and one of the sports I compete in is Rodeo. I have been competing in Rodeo events since I was four years old and I practice consistently for all my events.

Just recently, I was notified that I have been selected to compete at the International Mini Bullrider’s Association (IMBA) WORLD FINALS, in the United States of America! The IMBA is the world’s largest youth bull riding association, that provides young athletes the opportunity to showcase their talent, develop their skills and compete on a global stage. It is held from 2nd-6th September 2025 and hosted by the Golden Spike Arena in Ogden, Utah USA.

My family will be required to travel and accompany me to the IMBA World Finals event. As you can understand, with less than three months notice and limited time for substantial fundraising, I am reaching out to the wider community to help attend this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I would be incredibly grateful for any financial support that you could offer me.

Some of the expenses that my family are expected to cover are:

• Passport Applications

• Return Flights (to Salt Lake City)

• Extra baggage costs for my competitive equipment

• Hire Car

• Accommodation

• Nomination, membership & insurance fees for the World Finals event

I am prepared to represent my hometown and supporters with the utmost respect and I would love to make Dimbulah and my country proud, on a Global level. I would appreciate any support that you could possibly offer in this economic climate.

Thank you!
