Personal message

In 2022, my fencing journey began, and little did I know that at the age of 13, I would achieve milestones that surpassed my expectations. Fencing is more than just a sport to me; it's a lifestyle. I proudly attend Christian Brothers College, and the values instilled in me there have played a significant role in shaping my character.

It is with immense honor that I share the news of my selection to represent the South African team at the Junior African Championships in Egypt this March. This achievement is the result of numerous early mornings, late evenings, and the perseverance marked by blood, sweat, and tears. Through the highs and lows, successes, and crucial lessons, I am grateful for this opportunity and proud to raise my country's flag high.

Success at the Junior African Championships could potentially lead to an opportunity at the World Championships later this year. To make this journey possible, I am seeking support to cover the costs of flights and accommodation. Your contribution towards my "Road to Egypt" would be deeply appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your support.
