I am an athlete playing for the Australian Men's Deaf Basketball team - "Goannas", which is the Men's National representative team for deaf basketball in Australia and is made up of the best deaf athletes throughout the nation. I have been a part of the team since 2015. I am reaching out to the community and friends for assistance with the costs associated with my attendance for this upcoming Deaflympic participation happening in Tokyo Japan on 15th-26th November 2025. I greatly appreciate any help I can get and look forward to making our nation, community, friends, and family proud. If you have capacity to do so, please consider assisting by donating, or sharing to spread the word.
