I competed at the National Championships in Level 8 Open at Sleeman Sports Centre, Chandler, Queensland early July. I won the Australian Level 8 Open All Round Champion Title. Due to my victory, Gymnastics Australia has selected me as one of their gymnast for the 2007 South Africa National Open MAG Tour in Pretoria in October. This is a self-funded event that cost approx. $5200.00. Gymnastics Australia provides funding for the highest level gymnasts to compete internationally at the Olympic Games, the World Championships, World Cups events and other international competitions. Unfortunately funding cannot be provided for National Stream athletes, like myself, to compete internationally hence I need to raise funds by seeking donation. Gymnastics Australia supports this initiative.
