Help Me Train with the Best at Inside Running Academy in New Zealand

Hi, my name is Javon Walton, and I’m an aspiring professional rugby player with a dream: to train with the best and compete at the highest levels. I’ve been accepted for a rare opportunity to spend two weeks at Inside Running Academy in New Zealand, one of the world’s top rugby development programs, and I need your help to get there.

This isn’t just a trip. It’s a critical step in my journey toward playing college D1 rugby, earning a spot on a professional team, and eventually representing my country on the world stage. I train hard every day, balancing rugby with school, work, and a rigorous gym schedule. But opportunities like this don’t come around often, and they don’t come cheap.

Why This Matters:

Elite-level coaching from former pros and national team trainers

Full immersion in a rugby culture that’s second to none

Daily training, games, and film analysis designed to level up my game

A chance to build international connections, exposure, and credibility

A proven pipeline for players going pro or earning scholarships

I’m raising $5,500 to cover airfare, academy tuition, housing, and meals for the two-week program. Every donation, no matter the size, is an investment in my future, and a vote of confidence in a kid chasing something bigger than himself.

Whether you’re a teammate, friend, coach, family member, or just someone who believes in dedication, I’d be incredibly grateful for your support, and if you can’t donate right now, sharing this campaign helps more than you know.

Let’s make this dream a reality together. Thank you.
