<div>Hi, my name is Eliesha, and I’ve been selected to represent Australia at the 2026 World Karate Championships in the United Kingdom! 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is a dream come true for me, and a massive milestone in my karate journey.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m currently the Australian National Champion, a 6x State Title Holder, and the undefeated Regional Champion. Years of dedication, discipline, and hard work have brought me to this moment—and now, I have the incredible honour of stepping onto the world stage to represent my country.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But with this amazing opportunity comes a big financial challenge. To compete, I need to cover the cost of:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Flights to the UK ✈️
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Event entry fees
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Accommodation
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Training, uniforms, and team costs
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m reaching out to my community, friends, family, and supporters to help me get there. Every donation—no matter how big or small—brings me one step closer to competing for Australia.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you're a local business, there are also sponsorship opportunities available (with tax-deductible options), including recognition on my uniform, social media shout-outs, and more. Please feel free to reach out if you're interested!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I would be incredibly grateful for your support, whether it's a donation, a share, or simply cheering me on from home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for being part of my journey

<div>Hi, my name is <strong>Amelia Baker</strong>, and I am a women’s ranch bronc rider from Australia.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Last year, I qualified to represent Australia at the <strong>WRBC (Women’s Ranch Bronc Championships) </strong>World Finals at Cheyenne Frontier Days. This year, I not only qualified again, but was also crowned the <strong>2026 WRBC Australian Champion</strong>. I now have the opportunity to go back to America and represent Australia at the World Finals as a <strong>2x World Finalist</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ranch bronc riding has become a huge part of my life. It has taken a lot of hard work, travel, determination, and support to get to this point, and I am so grateful for the chance to compete on an international stage again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The World Finals will be held at <strong>Cheyenne Frontier Days</strong> in <strong>Cheyenne, Wyoming</strong>, from the <strong>18th to the 19th of July</strong>. I am fundraising to help cover the costs of travelling, competing, and representing Australia on the world stage.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Travelling from Australia to America for the World Finals comes with a lot of costs, including flights, accommodation, food, transport, insurance, entry fees, and other travel expenses. I am setting up this GoFundMe to help take some of the pressure off this trip and to give people the opportunity to support my campaign.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For anyone who would like to sponsor a specific part of my trip, here is an estimated breakdown of the main costs involved in travelling to America for 14 days:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Estimated trip costs:</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Flights: $2,500
</li>
<li>Accommodation: $2,000
</li>
<li>Food ($100/day): $1,400
</li>
<li>Car hire/fuel: $2,000
</li>
<li>Travel &amp; competition insurance: $1,000
</li>
<li>Entry fees: $600
</li>
<li>Consumables: $100
</li>
<li>Embroidery: $200
</li>
<li>Uniforms: $200
</li>
</ul>
<div><strong><em>Estimated total: $10,000</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any donation, big or small, would mean so much to me. Whether it helps cover a meal, a day of accommodation, fuel, entry fees, part of my flights, or simply takes some pressure off while I prepare, every bit of support will go directly towards helping me represent Australia at the World Finals.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Even if you are unable to donate, <strong>sharing this fundraiser</strong> would be hugely appreciated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you to everyone who has supported me, encouraged me, sponsored me, cheered me on, and followed my journey so far. I am so excited to chase this opportunity and give it everything I have.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for helping me get back to the World Finals.

<div>Hi, my name is Hayley, and I’m fundraising to compete in the 2026 Adaptive CrossFit Games in San Jose, California.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I was born with Erb’s Palsy, a brachial plexus injury that affects my right shoulder, arm, and hand. For a long time, I saw it as something that held me back.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Walking into a CrossFit gym for the first time was incredibly daunting—but the moment I picked up a barbell (with my left arm!) three years ago, everything changed. I found strength, confidence, and a community that truly feels like family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This year, I’ve qualified for the CrossFit Games for the very first time. I feel so honoured to represent my gym, my community, and my country—but more importantly, my “why” is to show others like me, especially younger people, that we can do hard things. We don’t have to hide. We can be proud of who we are and what we achieve.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m raising funds to help cover the costs of getting to the Games, including flights, accommodation, registration, insurance, transport, and food.
</div>
<div>Any support, big or small, would mean the world to me. I know times are tough for many, and I’m so grateful for any contribution or even just sharing my journey.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for being part of this with me.

<div> Help Me Save Roar 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Hi, I’m Bee, and I run Paws Adoption By BEE, a small independent rescue that specialises in caring for special needs, neglected and vulnerable cats. My rescue is already beyond capacity, but sometimes an emergency comes along that simply can’t be ignored.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Right now, though, my focus is on a tiny little kitten who desperately needs our help.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Meet Roar. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Roar is a beautiful little ginger and white boy, estimated to be 12 weeks old. Despite his age, he weighs only 1 kg, leaving him severely underweight, malnourished and incredibly vulnerable. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Late last night, a kind member of the public found Roar soaking wet, weak and alone under her car. She didn’t hesitate to help, taking him inside and keeping him warm, safe and dry until I could collect him first thing this morning. As soon as he was in my care, Roar was rushed straight to my vets , where he was admitted for emergency treatment.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Before Roar came into my care, a post had already been made about his unusual head movements in the hope that someone could help him. Sadly, most of the advice offered was simply to take him to the vets or have him scanned for a microchip. While those suggestions were well intended, they didn’t change the fact that this tiny kitten was still lying there, cold, soaked, malnourished and desperately needing someone to physically step in and help.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thankfully, that’s exactly what happened. Knowing I have experience caring for special needs and critically ill cats, I was contacted and immediately made arrangements to collect him. Without the kindness of the lady who kept him safe overnight and reached out for help, I honestly don’t know what Roar’s outcome would have been.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Sometimes these kittens don’t just need advice… they need someone willing to act. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>What worried me most were the neurological signs he was showing, including abnormal head twitching and unusual head movements.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Roar has now undergone blood tests and other diagnostics. Thankfully, some of the more serious diseases have already come back negative, which is wonderful news. However, his blood work suggests he may be fighting an infection, and we are still searching for answers.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>One of the conditions still being investigated is neurological FIP, along with several other possible causes of his symptoms. At this stage, we simply don’t know what we’re dealing with, but we do know he needs further diagnostics, treatment, medications and supportive care.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My rescue is already stretched beyond its limits, and I am still caring for the many cats already depending on me every single day, including my colony cats. I simply can’t say yes to every animal in need. But when a tiny kitten is found after midnight, soaking wet, critically unwell and with nowhere else to go, walking away simply wasn’t an option.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Unfortunately, emergency veterinary care is incredibly expensive, and after the recent emergencies involving several other cats, I simply cannot cover these costs alone.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Today, I’m asking for your help to give Roar the very best chance at life.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Every donation, no matter how big or small—will go directly towards:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>• Emergency veterinary consultations

</div>

<div>• Blood tests and further diagnostics

</div>

<div>• Medications and supportive treatment

</div>

<div>• Hospitalisation and ongoing care

</div>

<div>• Any additional treatment Roar may need as we continue searching for answers

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser. A simple share can reach someone who is able to help and could make all the difference to this little boy’s future.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Please keep Roar in your thoughts as we wait for more answers. He has already fought so hard just to survive. Now it’s our turn to fight for him.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>From the bottom of my heart, thank you for continuing to support my rescue and the many lives you help save through your kindness, generosity and compassion.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Together, let’s give Roar the fighting chance he so desperately deserves. 

</div>

Help Save Roar Roar the Tiny Soul

<div>
 Hi everyone,
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 We came across this little baby crying 2 days ago. We were on the other side of the road, but something made us turn around… and there he was. This tiny soul had been left exposed, crying in the cold, all alone.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 He was so vulnerable, and with the winter weather and dangers around him, we don’t know how much longer he would have survived out there.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 We set up a trap and a carrier for him, but he was too scared to go inside. After sitting out in the cold trying to get him safe, we wrapped him in our jumper and brought him to safety.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 We are already way beyond capacity, but we couldn’t walk away and leave this sweet little munchkin behind.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Little Crumpet now needs to be desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, flea and worm treated, and will need lots of supplies to help him settle into his new foster home.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 If you’re able to donate towards Crumpet’s care, even a small contribution would mean the world. Every bit helps us give this little baby the safe and loving start he deserves. ❤️
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Thank you for always standing beside our rescue babies.
</div>

Help us give this sweet baby a second chance.

<div>Our beautiful mama Cookie has already been through so much in her short life. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She was found abandoned while heavily pregnant whilst she was a baby herself. We rushed to bring her into our rescue, where she safely gave birth and devoted herself completely to raising her two precious babies. Despite everything she had endured, Cookie has been the most loving and doting mum.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Recently, we discovered a large lump on her body. Fearing the worst, we rushed her to the vet. The mass was urgently removed and has now been sent to the lab for testing to determine whether it is cancerous.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The surgery has already made such a difference. But we are still anxiously waiting for answers, and the veterinary and laboratory costs have been incredibly expensive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a rescue, we never turn our backs on rescues in need, but unexpected medical emergencies like this place enormous strain on our resources.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are able, please consider making a donation towards Cookie’s vet care. No amount is too small, and every contribution helps us continue providing the treatment she deserves. If donating isn’t possible, sharing her story would mean the world to us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cookie survived abandonment, became an incredible mother, and now deserves every chance at a healthy future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting Cookie and helping us give her the care she needs. ❤️
</div>

</div>
<div>Thanks for reading and thank you so much to everyone who supports me to pursue my dream!
</div>

<div>Help Australian Teen Racer Judd Plaisted Reach the ESBK Moto3 Grid
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At just 14 years old, Judd Plaisted is living the dream of many young motorcycle racers, competing in Europe against some of the best emerging talent in the world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Judd started riding a PeeWee 50 at just 2 years old and has many National titles and international achievements under his belt to date.
</div>
<div>After years of dedication, sacrifice, and hard work, Judd has now earned opportunities that few Australian riders ever receive... In July 2026, he will compete in the European Talent Cup at both Jerez and Magny-Cours, taking another significant step in his development as a professional racer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>More recently, Judd was offered an additional opportunity to race in the Moto3 class of the European Superbike Championship (ESBK) at MotorLand Aragón in Spain.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For Judd, this isn't just another race.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>MotorLand Aragón is a circuit he knows well and where he delivered strong performances last season. Returning to Aragón in a Moto3 machine would provide invaluable race experience, additional track time, and the chance to measure himself against some of Europe's strongest young riders. Opportunities like this play a huge role in a rider's development and can help shape future career pathways.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Like many racing families, we've worked incredibly hard to make these opportunities possible. However, the final cost of Judd's European Talent Cup program increased significantly, stretching our budget far beyond what was originally planned.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We're proud to say we've managed to make the European Talent Cup program happen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now we're hoping to make Aragón happen too.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fundraiser will help cover the costs associated with the ESBK Moto3 ride, including entry fees, bike hire, technical support, tyres, travel and race-related expenses.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every contribution, no matter the size, genuinely helps.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Whether it's $20, $50, $100 or simply sharing this page with friends and family, you're helping a young Australian rider continue chasing opportunities that have been earned through hard work, determination and commitment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Motorsport is often described as a team sport disguised as an individual one. While Judd may be the rider on the bike, there is an entire community helping him get to the starting grid, and we're incredibly grateful for every person who becomes part of that journey.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for taking the time to read Judd's story and for supporting the next chapter of his European racing adventure.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We'll be sharing updates throughout the season and look forward to taking you along for the ride.
</div>
<div><br />

Australia to Europe: Help Judd Take the Next Step

<div>After a 14-year absence from international competition, Steph has made an inspiring return to the highest level of canoe polo, earning selection in the Australian Women's Team for the 2026 Canoe Polo World Championships.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The championships will be held in Germany from September 15 to 20, where Steph will have the opportunity to represent Australia against the world's best players.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unlike many elite sports, Australian canoe polo athletes receive no funding, meaning Steph’s entire campaign is self-funded. The costs of travel, accommodation, equipment and tournament expenses are significant, and every contribution will make a real difference.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you're able to support Steph's journey, we would be incredibly grateful for a donation of any size. Your generosity will help Steph to proudly represent Australia on the world stage.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for being part of her journey and helping her pursue this dream.

<div>Hi everyone,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m Zen 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My team and I recently won Gold at the Australian Hip Hop Championships, which means we now have the opportunity to represent Australia in Arizona this July at the World Championships.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a dad, this means everything to me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I want my daughter to grow up seeing that no matter your age or stage in life, you can still chase your dreams and make them real. I’ve spent years training, sacrificing, and continuing to show up; and this opportunity is proof of what consistency can create.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m currently fundraising to help cover flights, accommodation, competition fees, and travel expenses for the trip.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any support or even a simple share would genuinely mean the world.

A Dad Chasing Dreams on the World Stage

<div>hey my names Jordyn and my love for dance is taking me all the way to Arizona for a world hip hop competition called HHI !!
</div>
<div>I’ve lived and breathed dance my whole life since I was 2 1/2, it’s how I express my emotions and tell my story! I never thought I would be at a point in my life where I love something so much that I would do whatever it takes to show the world why I do it. But now I’m here preparing and training to show the world why I deserve to compete with my amazing team in one of the worlds biggest hip hop competitions! 
</div>
<div>last year me and my team competed at HHI for the first time ever, made it to nationals! But not worlds.. This year we killed the regionals, qualified for nationals and became 2026’s national champions of Australia!!!! Now our next step is to compete against 50+ countries in America in July!! ✈️
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>now I just need some support to make it to the next level. Any help to cover travel/accommodation and competition costs would mean the world to me, I’m still trying to save up my own money but it’s also a struggle to live out of home, care for myself + my two cats, pay for dance bills and everyday necessities ontop of trying to save for this once in a lifetime opportunity. 
</div>
<div>So everything counts.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>thank you so much for taking the time to read my story and help me make my dreams come true and I can’t wait to show you why I have such a passion for dance and why I deserve to be on the worlds stage with DNA ❤️‍
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

Help get Jordyn to worlds!

<div>Hi everyone,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for always supporting us and the many rescues we care for — it truly means so much.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Right now, we’re raising funds to cover essential costs for our rescue. This includes vet care, medications, and starter packs that help our fosters settle safely into their new environments.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’ve recently taken in several senior cats who need prescription diets and supplements, and while we’re so grateful to be able to help them, the financial pressure is growing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With carers away, we’ve also had to purchase new supplies for each foster, which has made things even more challenging.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’re able to spare anything at all, it would go directly towards caring for these beautiful animals.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for being part of their journey and for helping us do what we do
</div>

Please help us  support our many rescues

<div>At 23 years old, Annie packed up her life in London and moved across the world to Australia to chase something bigger for herself.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>No family here. No safety net. Just a goal, a gym, and the willingness to work harder than everyone around her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since walking into Alpha, she’s become family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Most people only see the medals, the records, the lifts. They don’t see the early mornings, the pressure, the sacrifices, or the nights when quitting would’ve been easier.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now all that work has led to something massive:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Annie has been invited to represent Australia at the IPF Junior World Championships.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is the highest level in powerlifting. The best athletes in the world are stepping onto one platform.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And she earned her place there.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Recently, Annie went 9/9 in competition, broke multiple records, including a national total record, won her division, and took out Junior Female Champion.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re raising money to help cover flights, accommodation, competition fees, and the costs that come with competing on the world stage.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At Alpha, we always say this place is bigger than a gym.
</div>
<div>This is proof of that.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If Annie’s ever inspired you, trained beside you, supported you, or made this place feel like home, now’s our chance to back her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation helps.
</div>
<div>Every share matters.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let’s help one of our own walk onto the world stage knowing her family stands behind her. ❤️
</div>

ANNIE IS GOING  THE IPF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

<div>Hello climbing community,
</div>
<div>I’m reaching out to ask for your support
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Will and Oce have been planning to go to Ningbo ahead of the first World Cup of the season. The first competition of the season is always one of the most stressful, and having a week in Ningbo with Will would give Oce valuable time to adjust to travel, settle in, and begin preparing for the exciting season ahead.
</div>
<div>This week isn’t just about physical preparation — it’s also about mental and emotional readiness. Will has been working with Oce for 10+ years, and over the years they have developed a very supportive relationship where Will helps Oce find calm, confidence, and focus in high-pressure environments.
</div>
<div>If you know Will personally, you’ll understand just how supportive he is and how naturally he helps ease stress. This is one of the most important — and often underrated — aspects of coaching once the preseason training is done and it’s time to perform
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, the funding that was meant to support this trip has recently been withdrawn. So I am turning to our incredible community for help
</div>
<div>Any contribution, big or small, would mean so much, and we would all be deeply grateful for your support.
</div>
<div>If there are any remaining funds after the trip, they will go directly to continuing to support Will and Oce in the 2026 World Cup season
</div>

Help Will help Oce! 

My name is Olivia, and this year I had the incredible honor of joining the national Australian softball team. Even though I only started playing this summer, the journey has already taken me to places I never imagined—like China and Japan—where I experienced new cultures and grew as both an athlete and a person. I am also a Division 1 athlete at the University of South Florida, where I continue to develop my skills and compete at a high level. Now, I’ve been invited to compete in three major tournaments across Australia during Christmas, including a rare chance to play against the United States national team, the top-ranked team in the world. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to test myself against the best and continue developing my skills at the highest level. 
<br>
<br>
 Participating in these tournaments comes with significant expenses, including tournament fees, flights, food, and equipment. As a young athlete, covering these costs on my own is a challenge, and that’s why I’m reaching out for support. Every contribution will help me represent Australia with pride and make the most of this incredible experience. 
<br>
<br>
 Softball has quickly become my passion, and I feel grateful every day to play for my country with God by my side. Your support means the world to me and will help me chase my dreams on and off the field. Thank you for believing in me and being part of my journey.

Help me get to Luxembourg for the World Cup

<div>Hey crew!
</div>
<div>Alright I need a little bit of help to make a dream come true.
</div>
<div>I’m in the middle of a trip across Australia and the Shark Island Challenge has just been called on! Running this weekend Saturday 23rd-Sunday 24th May.
</div>
<div>I’m in a bit of a pickle finance-wise so I thought I’d put the word out to see if anyone had some spare dollars to help me get back for the contest! Last minute flights and accommodation from Perth aren’t cheap and all my savings have gone into this trip across Australia that we’ve been saving and planning for many years now.
</div>
<div>I missed the contest last year due to a punctured lung injury caused by a physio (who ironically was meant to be helping me get ready for the event), so I’m hanging for redemption this year and desperate to give Shark Island Challenge a proper crack! I love these kind of waves and have spent a lifetime chasing barrels and adventure. I have competed on the world tour a bit over the years and won at the events with slabbing barrels like Pipeline Hawaii, Canary Islands and Puerto Rico. The Shark Island Challenge is a really important event to me. I promise to send it and provide some quality entertainment for your investment! Any businesses interested, I’m more than happy to do any shoutouts and social media to help YOUR brand as the viewership for this event is massive! The esplanade at Cronulla will be packed and the event will be live streamed on YouTube.
</div>
<div>Any questions, feel free to send me a message on social media “Lilly Pollard Bodyboarder”, or shoot me an email.
</div>
<div>Thanks everyone. Let’s go SIC
</div>

Help Lilly get to the 2026 Shark Island Challenge!

<div>As a dad, watching my daughter dedicate herself to downhill mountain biking has been incredible. The commitment, sacrifice, training, injuries, and determination she’s shown to reach this level make us unbelievably proud. She now has the opportunity to race overseas in the UCI Downhill World Cups and compete against some of the best riders in the world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Maddie has the opportunity to race the World Cups in Whistler, Canada and Lake Placid, New York
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Like many families supporting an elite sport, the costs of travel, accommodation, race entries, bikes, and equipment are high. We’re asking for any support, big or small, to help make this dream possible and allow her to continue chasing what she has worked so hard for. If you can't, it would mean the world to us if you could share this post around. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation means the world to our family and goes directly towards helping Maddie represent herself, her supporters, and Australia on the world stage. Thank you for believing in her journey and being part of it with us.

Support Maddies Journey to the 2026 DH World Cups

<div>Hi, 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have been selected to represent Australia in the first ever 'Worlds' competition. This is a huge honour,  but I need your help!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This competition is in Aruba, which means airfares, passports, accommodation and all the extra costs associated with international travel.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have never been outside of Australia,  and who would have thought that a girl who trains in her backyard would be one of only 10 athletes chosen to represent their country. I still can't quite believe it!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But, from small things, big things grow. I look forward to your support and representing Australia with pride!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Love Madi ❤️ 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I would so appreciate any financial help you can give, even just a few dollars will help me, as does sharing my gofundme as wide as we can.
</div>

</div>
<div>I am currently attempting to raise some much needed funding to help me represent Australia at the 31st Hungarian Kickboxing World Cup in August 2026. 
</div>
<div>After a dominating performance at the Nationals in Sydney, I have since been offered a place on the 2026 Australian Kickboxing Team. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have a very extensive history in many different forms of martial arts including karate, jui jitsu, kickboxing and muay thai. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for me. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All funds raised will be going directly into funding my trip.

</div>
<div>No donation too big or too small :)

TEAM RIDDLERS TO WBC WORLD GAMES 

<div>I wasn't supposed to still be running.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ankylosing Spondylitis — a degenerative inflammatory disease of the spine — was supposed to end that: chronic pain, progressive stiffness, flare-ups without warning. Most people with AS are told to scale back and accept a quieter life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I went to the Olympics instead.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm Lara Hamilton — Sydney-born trail runner, ski mountaineer, and Australia's first women's Olympic ski mountaineer at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Games. Off the mountain I have a master's in music, trained in opera, and perform as DJ Solara. I work minimum wage to stay in Europe where the racing is. I have no sponsor, no national funding, and no coach I can afford to pay.
</div>
<div>What I do have: a qualification for the Mountain Running World Cup circuit this season, which takes place all over the world. In 2024 I placed 6th at the Mountain Running World Cup Final in the vertical kilometre, the best result an Australian woman has ever recorded in that discipline. That same year I finished the Golden Trail World Series ranked 27th overall. I've represented Australia at Trail Running and Ski-Mountaineering World Championships and podiumed at races across Europe.
</div>
<div>None of it was handed to me. Every result was fought for — through pain, on a shoestring, alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here's what nobody tells you about elite sport without a sponsor: qualifying is the easy part. Funding it is where dreams quietly die.
</div>
<div>The World Cup circuit means flights, transport, and accommodation across multiple countries — Europe, California, Canada, and the Asia-Pacific. On top of that, managing AS isn't free. Medications, physio, the daily cost of keeping my body functional enough to train at this level — it adds up before I've even booked a flight. Every cent from my minimum wage job goes toward staying healthy enough to compete. There is nothing left over for the season itself. I can't even afford a coach right now.
</div>
<div>I'm not asking for charity. I'm asking for fuel.
</div>
<div>If 10,000 people gave €1, I'd be on that start line. If 1,000 people gave €10, same result. Any amount genuinely changes what's possible this season.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you've ever been told you couldn't, and done it anyway — this one's for you too.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you can't give, share this page. Every share puts me in front of someone who might. That matters just as much.
</div>
<div>I'll run like every euro is watching. Promise.
</div>
<div>— Lara x

An Olympic athlete with a spine disease. I need your help!

<div>Hi, my name is Phoebe.
</div>
<div>I am trying to get to Iowa in the USA, to represent the Australian lightning sports stacking team at the Junior Olympics in July/August.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I absolutely love this sport and fell in love with it the moment I discovered it.
</div>
<div>The day I was asked to be on the Australian team was the best day ever.
</div>
<div>I am really proud every time I put on my Australia shirt and get to represent my country.
</div>
<div>Last year I went to the Asian opens and it was the best experience of my life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This year I want to shoot for the stars at the Junior Olympic games.
</div>
<div>The Junior Olympic games has 30 sports, ranging from your traditional sports like track and field, and swimming, all the way to my love and passion of sports stacking.
</div>
<div>My times are faster then last years Junior Olympic champion for my division, so I should be able to be very competitive!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It's all self funded and its alot to try and get there.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So with that being said, we are hoping to get a little help with the costs involved.
</div>
<div>Any amount is greatly appreciated. Or even just sharing this post will help me massively
</div>
<div>You would be helping me to be able to live out my dreams and excel at what I loves doing most!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thanks for reading

Help Phoebe represent Australia at the Junior Olympics

<div>After an outstanding year in 2025 with Tup Forge bringing home Australia’s first women’s ranch bronc world title the torch has been passed to our Team for 2026 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Introducing our 3 qualifiers</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our Australian Champion &amp; 2 x qualifier Amelia Baker
</div>
<div>Rookie of the year Morgan Keys 
</div>
<div>&amp; veteran Emily Howkins returning for a 3rd campaign. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Alongside our 3 riders will be Team Captain &amp; Director Emily Collits the driving force behind the scenes. Pushing for genuine growth &amp; opportunity. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But getting to this stage doesn’t come easy. These athletes are almost completely self funded, juggling work, training, travel, and the cost of chasing a dream that takes them halfway across the world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Who We Are</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Women’s Ranch Bronc Championships Australia (WRBC Australia) is the only organisation in the country dedicated to advancing women in ranch bronc, creating real opportunities to compete and a direct pathway to the international stage at Cheyenne Frontier Days. Built on the roots of traditional American ranch bronc riding, WRBC Australia runs sanctioned events alongside associations such as the ABCRA &amp; RSA, development schools, and national standings to grow the sport and support the next generation of Australian cowgirls stepping into the arena.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What We Need</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To make this opportunity possible, we need to cover:
</div>
<div>• International flights to the USA
</div>
<div>• Accommodation and transport
</div>
<div>• Entry fees
</div>
<div>• Insurance and riding equipment
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>These are self funded athletes, contributing what they can, but the reality is, the cost of getting to the world stage is significant.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How You Can Help</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every contribution helps get these riders one step closer to Cheyenne.
</div>
<div>And if you can’t donate, sharing this campaign goes a long way.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>For Businesses &amp; Sponsors</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’re a business looking to get behind something real, we’d love to work with you.
</div>
<div>Supporting this team aligns your brand with:
</div>
<div>• Female representation in sport • Australian athletes competing internationally
</div>
<div>• A growing western and rural community
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re open to sponsorship opportunities, collaborations, and long term partnerships.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Bigger Picture</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If we raise beyond our goal, funds will go towards future competitions, training opportunities, and continuing to grow women’s ranch bronc riding in Australia.
</div>

Getting Team Australia to Cheyenne WRBC World Finals

<div><strong>Help Mia McMillan Represent Australia in Cutting at the National High School Rodeo Finals</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Mia McMillan, and I am incredibly honoured to have been selected to represent Australia in the discipline of Cutting at the National High School Rodeo Finals in Lincoln, Nebraska this July.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is the world’s largest youth rodeo, and to be chosen to compete on this stage is something I am so proud of. It is an opportunity that has come from years of hard work, early mornings, long drives, late nights, and a whole lot of love for horses.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My horse journey started when I was very young. Before cutting, I competed in mini trotting, where I learnt so much about responsibility, discipline, horsemanship and never giving up. I was lucky enough to achieve some amazing things from a young age, including winning the State Mini Trotting Championships at Tamworth and later being selected as one of the NSW representatives for the Mini Trot Inter Dominion. I also had the honour of winning the Mini Trotters Miracle Mile at Menangle.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As I grew, my love for horses led me into the sport of cutting — a sport that takes patience, feel, timing, courage and a huge amount of trust between horse and rider. Cutting has become my passion, and over the past few years I have been working hard to keep improving, learning and competing against some of the best youth riders in the country.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Some of my recent cutting achievements include winning Junior Youth titles, taking out the Junior Youth Championship at the AQHA Q25 National Show, and placing first in the NHSFR Cutting Qualifier with a score of 216.5. To now have the opportunity to wear the green and gold and represent Australia in Nebraska is something I will never take for granted.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This trip comes with significant costs, especially as it involves international travel and competing with horses overseas. Funds raised will help cover expenses such as:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Horse hire and transport to the event
</div>
<div>• Stable hire, bedding, feed and horse care
</div>
<div>• Training access and practice cattle
</div>
<div>• Competition costs
</div>
<div>• Travel, accommodation and transport expenses
</div>
<div>• The essential costs involved in representing Australia safely and professionally
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My family and I are doing everything we can to make this dream possible, but we are reaching out for support to help get me there.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This opportunity is not just about competing overseas. It is about showing other young kids from country families that big dreams are possible if you are willing to work hard for them. I am also so proud to be an inspiration to my younger siblings. One of the most special moments for me was taking my little brother Riley cutting for the first time — seeing him look up to me and want to be part of the sport reminded me how much this journey means, not just to me, but to my family too.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Representing Australia is a huge honour, and I am committed to giving it everything I have — for my family, my team, my community, and everyone who has supported me along the way.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any donation, no matter the size, will go directly towards helping me compete at the National High School Rodeo Finals in Nebraska.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you so much for supporting my dream and helping me proudly represent Australia on the world stage.

Help 14yr old Mia get to the USA High School Rodeo Finals

<div>Help Me Compete at the 2026 World Karate Championships

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Hi, my name is Georgia Williams, I am 14 year old Australian and despite having multiple chronic health conditions, I am determined not to let these conditions define me or stop me from attending the 2026 Karate World Cup in the United Kingdom later this year.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I began karate in October 2023, not with dreams of world titles, but simply to survive. I was experiencing severe bullying, which left me with little to no confidence and sent my nervous system haywire causing Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and other chronic health conditions as well as leading to a diagnosis of my pre-existing hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) Karate became a safe place for me, a way to rebuild my self-belief and regain control over my life. What I never expected was how quickly it would grow into a passion, a purpose and how important it would be to help strengthen my body.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>These conditions affect my energy, mobility, and daily functioning, but I refuse to let them stop me from what I can achieve. Despite these challenges, I usually train 2–4 days a week for multiple hours per session as well as assisting in teaching karate for around four classes each week. Through determination, discipline, and resilience, I have been incredibly proud to achieve the following results for my age and belt division:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>2024 State Bronze Medallist in Kata

</div>

<div>2025 State Champion in Kata 

</div>

<div>2025 State Bronze Medallist in Kumite

</div>

<div>2025 National Champion in Kata 

</div>

<div>  

</div>

<div>With this now leading being given the opportunity to compete in the Karate World Cup is a huge honour, but competing internationally comes with significant costs. This fundraiser will help cover travel, accommodation for me and my mum, competition fees and uniforms required to represent Australia on the world stage. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My goal goes far beyond medals. I have always dreamed of one day holding the title of World Champion and representing Australia on the world stage. I am proud to currently hold the title of Australian National Champion and Victorian State Champion.

I want to show others living with chronic illness, disability, or personal hardship that it is possible to achieve big dreams, even when the odds are stacked against you. I hope my journey can inspire someone else to keep going when things feel impossible, and raise awareness for invisible disability or invisible challenges.

With your help, I will be able to represent Australia in the United Kingdom in July 2026. <span>Any support whether through a donation no matter how big or small and by sharing this page would mean more to me than I can express. Thank you for believing in me and for helping make this dream possible.</span>

Chronic illness won’t stop my world karate dream

<div>My name is Mikayla O’Halloran, and I am honoured to have been selected to represent Australia in the disciple of Cutting at the National High School Rodeo Finals in Lincoln, Nebraska this July. This is the largest youth rodeo in the world, and being chosen to compete on this stage is a once in a lifetime opportunity that I have worked incredibly hard to achieve.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Competing in Cutting at this level comes with significant costs, especially when travelling internationally. Some of these costs include:
</div>
<div>•	Horse hire and transportation of them to the event
</div>
<div>•	Stable hire and bedding
</div>
<div>•	Feed and care costs
</div>
<div>•	Training access and practice cattle
</div>
<div>•	Travel, accommodation, and transport expenses
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>These costs add up quickly, and while my family and I are doing everything we can to fund this journey, we are reaching out for support to help make this dream possible.
</div>
<div>Representing Australia is an honour I don’t take lightly. I am committed to giving my absolute best in Nebraska — not only for myself, but for my team, my community, and everyone who believes in me. Any contribution, no matter the size, will go directly toward the essential expenses required for me to compete safely and successfully at the Finals.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support means more than I can express. Thank you for helping me chase this incredible opportunity and proudly represent Australia on the world stage.

Help Kayla O'Halloran go to the USA High School Rodeo Finals

<div><a href="https://www.jademacdonaldrazvi.com.au/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">My story</a>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hi, I'm Jade Macdonald-Razvi, a professional freediver, a 3 x Australian record holder with a deep passion for the ocean and human potential.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This year, I’m honoured to be preparing for the AIDA Freediving World Championships, taking place in Cyprus from September 20 – October 3, 2025. This event brings together the world’s best freedivers to compete at the highest level, and I’m proud to have the opportunity to represent Australia on the global stage.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unlike many other professional sports, Australian freediving receives no financial support or government funding. Most of us juggle full-time work with training and travel — driven purely by passion, grit, and the hope of lifting our nation’s flag beneath the surface.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What Your Support Will Go Toward:
</div>
<div>In the lead-up to the Worlds, I’ll be undertaking 2 weeks of training in Amed, Indonesia, coached by world-renowned freediving mentor Julia Mouce. This is a vital step in fine-tuning my technique, mental preparation, and depth adaptation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your contribution will help cover:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>✅ Coaching fees
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>✈️ Flights to Cyprus and Indonesia
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Accommodation during training and competition
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Competition registration &amp; training fees
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Annual registration with the Freediving Federation
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why It Matters:
</div>
<div>Freediving is more than just a sport, it’s a profound connection to breath, body, and the ocean. Every dive is a meditation in motion, and I carry with me not only the Australian flag but the spirit of every person who believes in pushing limits, overcoming fear, and moving with purpose.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I would be incredibly grateful for your support... whether it’s through a donation or simply sharing this campaign. Every bit helps me get closer to my goal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let’s dive deep, together
</div>
<div>Thank you for believing in me.

</div>
<div>Jaydyn has been<strong> eligible to compete in the Junior Olympics for the past 10 years</strong>, but financially it has always been out of reach, with trying to afford World Championships and Asian Championships every year.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sport Stacking athletes are self-funded, we have supported Jaydyn for the past 11 years with the generous support of our family and some amazing Sponsors. This year we are finding it a bit harder than usual, as everyone is.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>We understand that times are tough, please only donate if you can!</strong> Every donation, no matter the size, brings Jaydyn one step closer to achieving his Junior Olympic dream. You'll be helping a dedicated young athlete who has worked tirelessly to reach this level, training countless hours to perfect his craft and represent Australia with pride. <strong>Jaydyn, also donates a lot of time to mentoring the next generation of Stackers</strong> coming through, helping them fulfil their potential.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Jaydyn has also donated countless hours to South Australian Schools to share Sport Stacking and having autism, to inspire the next generation of Stackers and kids with autism.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Most of the Australian Lightning Team were taught Sport Stacking at a Free School Visit!!<strong> Free School Visits are still available if you would like Jaydyn to come to your school.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

Support Jaydyn Coggins to compete in the Junior Olympics!!

<div>Hi, my name is Eleanor, I’m 23 years old and from Canberra, Australia.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve been selected to represent Australia on the Team Australia Dance Teams, competing at the ICU World Cheerleading Championships in Orlando this April.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cheer and dance have been my entire world for as long as I can remember, and I’ve worked consistently toward opportunities like this since I was young.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In 2020, I earned a place on a team selected to compete at the World Championships; however, due to COVID travel restrictions imposed just a few weeks before our departure, the team was unable to attend. In 2022, I was selected for the University of Colorado Boulder Cheer Team, but was unable to accept the position due to the cost of international tuition. While both experiences were disappointing, they reaffirmed my drive to one day represent Australia doing what I love.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, I’ll be competing with three teams for Team Australia: Senior National Hip Hop, Unified Pom, and Unified Hip Hop. This journey includes four national training camps across Australia, followed by travel to Orlando to compete in April.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It’s an incredible honour, but it is also completely self-funded, including training fees, travel, accommodation, uniforms, merchandise, and competition costs. I’m doing everything I can to make this happen - including selling my car. Goodbye Willow :(
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any support, big or small, would mean the world to me and help me get one step closer to representing Australia on the world stage. Thank you so much for believing in me and supporting this journey!!
</div>

Support Eleanor Representing Australia at ICU Worlds

<div>Hi my name is Georgia,
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>I am incredibly proud to share that I will represent Team Australia at the International World Championships in Florida, USA. I have been selected to dance on the All Abilities Unified Pom team as well as the All Abilities Unified Hip Hop team. This will be held on April 22nd to April 24th  2026.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>Your support will help cover travel, accommodation and training and competition fees, so I can compete on the world stage and achieve my dreams. To make this happen I had to audition online amongst other Australian dancers.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>This is a dream that I never thought would be a reality! Any support, big or small, means the world and helps me get one step closer to the international stage with this team. Thank you so much for your kindness.
</div>

Team Australia ICU World Championships 2026

<div>Hi, my name is Eva and I’m 10 years old. I’ve been given an incredible opportunity to travel to America to compete in sports stacking (also known as cup stacking), representing Australia as part of Australian Lightning ⚡️
</div>
<div>I’m currently the fastest female sports stacker in Australia, something I’ve worked incredibly hard to achieve through dedication, training, and a whole lot of passion. Sports stacking has helped me build confidence, focus, and belief in myself — and now I have the chance to take those skills onto the world stage.
</div>
<div>I will be competing at the Junior Olympics, which is such an exciting and proud moment for me and my family. I can’t wait to represent Australia in the green and gold and give it everything I’ve got. Being selected for the Australian Lightning is a huge honour, but travelling to America comes with significant costs. We are fundraising to help cover flights, accommodation, competition fees, and team expenses so I can proudly wear green and gold and compete for Australia.
</div>
<div>Any support — whether through a donation or by sharing this page — means the world to me and helps bring this dream closer to reality. Thank you so much for believing in me and being part of my journey 
</div>

Please help Eva chase her stacking dreams

<div>Hi, my name is Mia. I’m 19 years old, and karate has been my passion for as long as I can remember. I started training at just 3 years old and began competing by the age of 6. Since then, I’ve dedicated my life to improving, competing, and continuing my dream of representing Australia again on the international stage.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This year, I’ve been given some incredible opportunities that bring me one step closer to that dream. I’ve been selected to compete for the Senior Team at the Oceania Team Championships in New Zealand on May 30, followed by the New Zealand Open from May 31 to June 1. From there, I have the potential to qualify for the Team World Championships in China this November.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve also recently been selected to represent both Australia and the University of New England at the 2026 FISU Combat Games in Brazil this June. On top of that, I’m working towards selection for the Junior World Championships in Poland this October.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While these opportunities are amazing, karate is a fully self-funded sport. This means all travel, accommodation, competition fees, and training expenses come out of my own pocket. As a second-year university student studying Exercise Physiology, I’m currently balancing my studies while working two jobs just to try and make these opportunities possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, covering all of these costs alone is incredibly challenging. That’s why I’m reaching out for support. Any donation, big or small, will go directly towards helping me represent Australia, compete internationally, and continue pursuing my dream.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m also currently seeking sponsorship opportunities. If you are a business, company, or organisation that would like to support me on this journey, I would love to partner with you. In return, I’m more than happy to promote and represent your brand through competitions, social media, and my travels both nationally and internationally.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story and for any support you can give; it truly means the world to me.

Mias Travel expenses for International Competitions

<div>Hi Everyone, my name is Natalia and I have been selected to represent Australia at the International Aerial Championships in Aruba! I am so proud to have been given this amazing opportunity to wear the green and gold.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I recently competed at a national level and achieved 1st in Lyra, 1st in Silks and 1st in Acrobats for my division.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As I live in Western Australia, I am far from the competition that is being held in Aruba. Raising funds would help cover international travel expenses, team uniforms and competition fees.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation, big or small,  is appreciated and will help me focus on what matters most — representing Australia with pride!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for being part of my journey!
</div>

Help Natalia Represent Australia in Aerial World Competition

<div>Help Beau Make History on His Aerial Journey!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Beau, a 14-year-old aerial athlete, is on the verge of making history. After competing nationally and receiving an invitation to compete in Canada this year, Beau has now been selected as the only boy to represent Team Australia at the FIRST-ever international aerial competition in Aruba. He will be competing in Lyra and Silks—two disciplines that require incredible strength, agility, and artistry.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is a milestone not only for Beau but for the sport of aerial arts as a whole. With the growing popularity of aerial sports, Beau’s participation as the only male athlete on the team is a significant step forward in breaking barriers and bringing more visibility to men in aerial arts. This competition is a chance to showcase the talent and potential of male athletes, helping to grow the sport and bring it closer to Olympic recognition.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Beau trains at Ovation Arts Australia in Ipswich, where he has worked hard to refine his skills and build his confidence. This international competition will allow him to take his technique to the next level and solidify his place as a rising star in the aerial arts community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re looking for sponsors who want to be part of this historic moment. Your support will go directly toward covering the costs of Beau’s travel, competition fees, uniforms, accommodations, rehearsals, coaching, and all the essential expenses required for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Additionally, any extra funds raised may help ensure that Beau’s teammates can make the journey alongside him, as well as cover essential training needs to help them all succeed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The funds will not be limited to what’s listed here—every dollar raised will go toward giving Beau and his team the best chance to perform at their highest level.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you're unable to sponsor directly, we’d love for you to follow Beau’s journey on Instagram at @beaujangles715
</div>
<div> and share his story with your network. Every bit of support helps bring Beau closer to achieving his dreams and elevating the sport of aerial arts.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for helping Beau soar to new heights—your support will help make history!
</div>

Help Beau get to ARUBA for the Aerial World Championships!!

<div>People always say “dream big”… but what if your dream actually comes true?  
</div>
<div>Hi, I’m Ella and I'm 11 years old. I’ve been given the opportunity of a lifetime to represent Australia at the first ever Aerial World Championships in Aruba. Which is a very very long way away. 
</div>
<div>I’ve worked so hard for this moment, and I’d love your help to get there.
</div>
<div>Every share, every message, and every donation means more than I can put into words.
</div>
<div>You’re not just helping me get there, you’re helping me live my dream.
</div>
<div>No matter how big or small, your support truly makes a difference.
</div>
<div>Thank you for believing in me and helping me take this dream to the world stage.
</div>

From Dreams to World Stage: help Ella Represent Australia   

<div>Hello, My name is Bianca. I am 12 years old and I am an amazing Aerialist student of Aerial Dreaming Circus School, Gympie Qld. I am here to tell the world, that I have been selected to represent the Australian Team at the International Aerial Arts World Championships, this August in Aruba. Aruba is located in the Southern Carribean, just north of South America. There are 10 Aerialists that make up Team Australia, 3 of us (including myself and my 2 beautiful Aerial friends Ella and Haylea) are from Aerial Dreaming Circus School, Gympie. We could've have got this far without coaches- Miss Bec &amp; Miss Shae.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At the age of 1, I started climbing the  same day I learned to walk, and I haven’t really stopped since.  At 4 I started learning gymnastics and at age 7, discovered my true love of aerial arts when Mum signed me up up for my first trial day at Aerial Dreaming Circus School in January 2022.  Over the last 4 years  I have competed in 11 Bend the Air Competitions, bringing home 12 trophies, including 1st place for 7-9 years Silks at the Bend The Air Nationals in January 2025, and only recently on April 9th 2026, I placed 1st at Bend The Air Regionals, for Open Apparatus Solo Under 12s. This means that once again I am eligible to compete at 2026 Nationals.  I was also lucky enough to be the 2025 Excellence Scholarship recipient for Aerial Dreaming Circus School. When Im not training at ADCS, youll find me swinging from my own aerial rig home in my backyard.  I enjoy performing for an audience showing a sassy stage personality, love any kind of upbeat tunes.  Aerial has become my passion, I am fully dedicated to my training and always striving to improve, while having fun with my aerial ‘family’.  I currently have a busy training schedule, of around 4-5 days a week at the ADCS studio and Ilove very minute of it. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So now it's time for me swing from the stage Internationally !!! Il But, financially this is a huge challenge. Aerial, the sport receives no government funding, so athletes and their families plus their coaches have to fund everything themselves. In total Mum and the other aerial parents and coaches are calculating around $50,000 just to get my 2 coaches and 3 of us Aerialists over to Aruba. So at the moment, Mum and I are going to set a goal of $10,000 which will go towards my cost of flights, accommodation, team uniform, training prior to the world championships. Mum has set up this Go-Fund-Me page.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We understand it is a really hard time for most families and businesses, but if you are able to support me I am very very grateful, even if it's not dollars, we are super happy if you can share this post 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every share, every dollar, every message means a lot and truly makes a difference. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for every one who has taken the time to read this. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A big Bianca hug and smile to you all and super thankful for everyone generosity. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Big love, Bianca 
</div>

Aerial World Championships for Bianca !

<div>Hi everyone,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Karla Ronning and I’m the incredibly proud parent of my daughter Stella, who at just 12 years old has been selected to represent Australia as part of the very first Australian Aerial Team competing internationally in Aruba for a World Title.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is not just a personal milestone for Stella—it’s a historic moment for aerial as a sport.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Stella has dedicated countless hours to training, showing discipline, courage, and passion well beyond her years. Her commitment has now opened the door to something extraordinary: competing on the world stage alongside other elite young aerialists.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>✨ Why This Matters
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Aerial is still growing globally, and opportunities like this are crucial. The more athletes who can compete internationally at a high level, the stronger the case becomes for aerial to be recognised as an Olympic sport one day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>By supporting Stella and her teammates, you’re not just helping one young athlete—you’re helping elevate an entire sport.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How You Can Help
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>International travel, accommodation, competition fees, and training expenses add up quickly. As a family, we are doing everything we can to support Stella, but we can’t do it alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are raising funds to help cover:
</div>
<div>• International travel expenses
</div>
<div>• Team Uniforms for the 10 talented aerialists selected
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every contribution, no matter how small, brings Stella and her team one step closer to representing Australia on the world stage.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank You
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for taking the time to read Stella’s story and for supporting her dream. Whether you donate or simply share this page, it means the world to us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let’s help Stella and her team fly high and make history for aerial sport
</div>

Help Stella Represent Australia in Aerial World Competitions

<div>Hello, our names are Ekaterina, Sofia, Elizaveta, Myroslava, Zoe and Alisa and we are the Aspire Gymnastics Senior International Group, and we are raising funds to support our upcoming international trip to Europe where we will be representing Australia in rhythmic gymnastics.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Recently we were selected to compete in major events in Europe including:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Aphrodite Cup (Greece)
</li>
<li>Thiais Grand Prix (France)
</li>
<li>Uzbekistan World Cup
</li>
<li>Training camps
</li>
</ul>
<div>These competitions will be our first time as a group on the international stage and will be a complete honour. These competitions are incredibly important opportunities to gain the experience needed to continue representing Australia at a high level, moving towards the goal of the Olympic Games.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At this stage, rhythmic gymnastics receives limited funding from the Australian Government and all of the costs will have to be covered by the athletes and their families, which includes flights, travel, accommodation, meals, travel expenses for our coaches and competitions and training camps fees.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The money donated will be split amongst us and will help ease the financial pressure off our families. If you are able to donate, no matter how much, it would mean the world to us and we would deeply appreciate it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are incredibly grateful to be able to partake in this journey and we hope that you will cheer us on as we represent Australia on the world stage. Thank you for your support!
</div>

Support the Aspire Senior Group represent Australia

<div>I am beyond grateful to have been selected to compete at the ICU World Dance Championships for Hip Hop this April in Orlando, Florida, USA.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The ICU World Championships is the highest level of international competition in our sport, bringing together elite athletes from across the globe. To be chosen to represent Australia on this stage is an incredible honour and a responsibility I do not take lightly. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My journey began at 11 years old, when I first discovered hip hop. Over the years, dance has shaped my discipline, resilience, and work ethic. Although I stepped away for three years to focus on my studies and gain entry into my university program, I returned with renewed maturity and determination.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since returning, I have achieved back-to-back 1st place titles at the AASCF National Championships in the University Hip Hop Division. In 2024, I served as President of the UNSW Cheer &amp; Dance Society, leading a community of over 200 members. In this role, I managed an executive team, oversaw competitions and major events, and represented the society both internally and externally. Leadership, professionalism, and commitment to excellence are values I carry both on and off the stage.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Qualifying for ICU Worlds is the result of years of hard work, high-level training, and dedication to my craft. This opportunity places me among the top athletes in the world in my division. Competing internationally comes with significant costs. As an individual athlete, I am personally funding this campaign. Expenses include international travel, accommodation, competition fees, uniforms, and elite training — all essential to ensure I can perform at my absolute best.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am currently seeking support from individuals and businesses who would like to back a driven, high-achieving athlete competing on the world stage. Supporting this journey is not only an investment in my performance, but in representing South Sydney and Australia at the highest level of global competition.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any contribution, large or small, directly supports this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for being part of this journey and helping me take South Sydney to the world stage.
</div>

MEHER's JOURNEY TO THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS IN FLORIDA USA

<div>Hi everyone,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re really hoping you can help us please 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Just as we were heading out to feed, a very friendly, heavily pregnant mum came running straight to us. More than food, she was clearly searching for safety. She had been dumped right next to a busy road, in such cold conditions. We placed a carrier down, and without hesitation, she walked right in—no food needed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We honestly don’t have the space right now, but we couldn’t leave her behind. She’s full term and will need urgent care, including a vet consult, X-rays, ultrasound, as well as worming and flea treatment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On top of that, we need to prepare a safe, warm space for her and her babies—towels, bedding, a playpen, and other essentials. The costs are adding up quickly, and we want to give her the best chance possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’re able to spare anything at all, no amount is too small. Your support would mean everything in helping us care for her during this critical time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you so much for always being there for us. We are so grateful. 
</div>

Urgent: Dumped, Pregnant & Desperate for Safety

<div>Hey I’m Justine Baxter, 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve been invited to compete in Ireland at the most elite powerlifting event in the world — the ABS Pro. A stage where the strongest women on the planet show up… and I’ve earned my place there.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But getting there isn’t simple.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m a full-time worker. A sole parent. Every lift, every early morning, every sacrifice — it’s been built around creating a better life and chasing something bigger than me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This isn’t just about lifting weights.
</div>
<div>This is about representing Australia.
</div>
<div>This is about showing what’s possible when you refuse to quit.
</div>
<div>This is about standing on an international platform and proving I belong there.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m currently chasing some huge goals  — something only a handful of women in the world have ever done. And I want to do it on the biggest stage possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But international competition comes with real costs — flights, accommodation, competition fees — and that’s where I need help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you can support, even a little, it means everything.
</div>
<div>If you can’t, sharing this goes just as far.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m not just lifting for me. I’m lifting for every person who’s had to fight for their goals.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let’s take this all the way to Ireland 
</div>

ABS Pro 8 - Dublin Ireland

<div>SHE WAS GONE… AND NOW SHE’S BACK — BUT BARELY HOLDING ON
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Back in 2024, I stepped in to help 18 cats from Late Gail’s estate after she sadly passed away.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Instead of being cared for… her children threw them all outside.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Just like that.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Left to survive.
</div>
<div>Left confused.
</div>
<div>Left with no one.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Some were even given away for free on Facebook…taken by the wrong people, for the wrong reasons.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Others faced far worse.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Some of her siblings were killed, poisoned, taken, and trapped…and never seen again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To this day, many are still unaccounted for.
</div>
<div>Some I have had to bury.
</div>
<div>Some are still here with me… waiting for the forever homes they were always meant to have.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since then, I have worked tirelessly to rescue as many as I could.
</div>
<div>Many are now safe in care… but there are still three unaccounted for, missing somewhere, trapped in that same cycle.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And then there was Bell.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Bell went missing not long after everything happened.
</div>
<div>We searched, we hoped… but eventually we feared the worst.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We thought she didn’t make it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Until yesterday.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I heard crying under a car…I called her name……and she answered.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After all this time… she remembered.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But she is in a devastating condition.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Bell is severely underweight
</div>
<div>Her spine is prominent
</div>
<div>Her body is covered in fleas
</div>
<div>Her stomach is full of worms
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Someone had returned and dumped her back in this state.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have treated her immediately, but this is only the beginning.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Bell now urgently needs:
</div>
<div>• A full vet check
</div>
<div>• Vaccination
</div>
<div>• Microchipping
</div>
<div>• Ongoing treatment
</div>
<div>• Safe boarding while I secure her future
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Right now, she is being kept in my shower because I simply have no space left.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If I cannot secure support for her care, I may be forced to put her back outside… and I cannot bear the thought of that after everything she has endured.
</div>

Bell Was Thrown Away… Now She Needs a Second Chance

<div>Hi my name is Aurora-Charlotte, I am a 15 year old aerial athlete. I have been training and competing in aerial disciplines for over 6 years and I have been given the opportunity to represent Australia in Aurba on the 22nd of August for the world championships. This is an amazing opportunity for me to showcase my skills and passion on the world stage. I am raising funds to pay for airfares and accommodation for me and my support team. I am so excited about having this chance and I look forward to sharing this journey with you.

Get Aurora-Charlotte to the Aerial World Championship Aruba

<div>Hi, my name is Audrey and I am 10 years old and I’m so happy to have made Team Australia heading to Aruba for the IAAO World Championships in August 2026. As the youngest member of the team I am grateful for the opportunity to continue to develop my aerial disciplines and grow as an athlete while representing my country and learning from those older than me.
</div>

</div>
<div>I have been training in aerial arts since 2023, beginning with silks, but adding other apparatuses each year. There’s no place I’d rather be than up in the air! I was honoured to make National Champion for silks earlier this year and Runner-Up for both aerial hoop and acrobatics. This sport is challenging and strengthens me, teaches me resilience, endurance and artistry all at the same time. The aim of the IAAO is to continue to build a pathway for the sport towards the Olympics. I’m so thankful to be a part of this process for future athletes to hit the arena.

</div>
<div>As this is the very first Australian team to be sent to the World Championships we don’t have infrastructure in place for fundraising this year so each athlete must raise funds independently. This is where you can help! We are inviting family and friends and those who want to see more opportunities for this sport to help get me there. All donations go directly to airfares, accommodation and the green and gold (AUS uniforms). 
</div>

</div>
<div>If you would like to help make my dream of representing Australia a reality, your contribution means so much! I am so thankful to everyone who has supported my journey this far and I’m honoured to be a part of the very first Australian team. I hope to represent our nation well and cheer on those from around the world!
