Donation protected
Alberto Campbell is a Jamaican born elite athlete. Now an Australian, he represents his country as an Paralympian (T20 catergory) in the 400m sprint.
He is currently part of AIS "Australia's Winning Edge" program. He is on scholarship with Athletics Australia at the "Podium Potential" level and a member of the Queensland Academy of Sport.
He is the Australian Para-Champion for the 200m and 400m sprints and has represented his country at the IPC World Championships in 2015. At World Champs he progressed through to the final, however was withdrawn from running it by the team doctor, due to a chest infection. He hopes to represent Australia once again at the Rio Paralympics in 2016.
For this he needs your support. All funds raised will be used by Alberto to cover his coaching and equipment costs as well as helping to cover the cost of domestic travel for races (the majority of travel expenses are already covered by Athletics Australia. All travel expenses to Rio are covered by the APC).
Alberto has a dream of representing his country once again and giving back to a nation that has given him so much. To run for Australia at the Rio Paralympics would be a once in a life time achievement. You can be part of his journey.
