Speedie's WFC2016 Campaign
Donation protected
I am David "Speedie" Speldewinde, usually number 42 on the Australian men's floorball team.
The World Floorball Championships are being held in Latvia in December this year. As an amateur and unfunded sport in Australia with often little sponsorship assistance available the cost of these tours rests solely on the players' shoulders.
This being my 9th time representing Australia since 2007, I can definitely relate to what Aussie women's player Jill Roberts says here in her IFF blog post about the costs of loving floorball in Australia:

Having gone back to fulltime study this year, I am seeking support for the first time in easing the financial burden of playing for Australia in this sport that I love. I volunteer a lot of my time to raising the profile of and developing floorball in Australia/ACT and would greatly appreciate any assistance people can offer.
Money raised will go towards the following costs:
-flights and other transport (~$2500)
-tour costs including accommodation in Latvia, training camp in Finland prior to competition, uniforms and other associated expenses (~$3000)
- new/spare floorball gear (~$420)
- Total (~$5920)
Many thanks for some very generous donations and words of support so far! I've decided that all donors will get one ticket in the draw and one bonus ticket for each $42 they donate for the chance to win my signed green official Australian team #42 jersey from the WFC Qualification tournament in Thailand earlier this year (see photo). Also the largest single donation will be guaranteed to receive my signed yellow official Australian team jersey from the WFC tournament in Latvia.
Keep the support coming, every bit helps!
