Description
My name is Noah Hotham, I am 13 years old. Â My parents would describe me as a sports fanatic who is competitive and loves to win. Ever since a young age, I have followed in my family’s sporting footsteps. Â Touch rugby has been a game which I have grown up with and been involved in since I was a toddler. Â My Mum, Dad and four siblings have all played representative sports which have been a financial strain on my parents. Â Since I was six, I have been lucky enough to represent Waikato for Touch which has been a great experience. Â In February of this year, I was selected for the New Zealand Under 16 Touch Team after competing in the youth national Touch tournament with Waikato. Â This New Zealand team will be touring the Gold Coast in September. Selected athletes need to self-fund $3,500 towards the tour costs.
As a youngster, I spent a lot of time playing touch with my family. Ever since I was little, I have been playing sport, touch, rugby, soccer, anything I had time for and of course with competition – comes fees.  I am the youngest of a family of 5 children who are also very passionate about sport.  My siblings have all played a representative sport which has been a financial strain on my parents.  Mum and Dad struggle financially to support all five of us in our various sporting codes.  My family and I are firm believers that if you want something you must work hard to get it.  To achieve my goal of raising this large amount of money ($3,500) I want to take the stress off my parents’ shoulders and find a suitable, smart way to raise some of the funds.  This is why I am asking for your support to help me reach my goal.
Thank you.
Noah
