The extent of funding required is very significant. While my family is able to provide funding it is difficult to sustain it at the level required for the World Championships. Also Parents have already payed for my international classification as a para-athlete in Brisbane in March 2015 and the Oceania Championships in Cairns in May this year.

My goal now is to compete at the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio.
To do this I will compete at different competitions across NZ and Australia, including the Australian Nationals and NZ Nationals where I will gain Qualifying times.
