Iowa going to japan for rugby

Hi.

My name is iowa mackenzie and i have been asked to play and tour Japan for the Australian Raptors Rugby Academy. I am trying to raise enough money for me to go over there.

Australian Raptors Rugby Academy is a Not-for-Profit organization that aims to develop coaches and players both on and off the field to be the best version of themselves they can be.

I live in mcgraths hill, sydney and go to oakville public school. I started playing rugby when i was 4 and a half years old. My journey starts at hawkesbury valley rugby club and still remains there. In 2023 i was picked to play for western sydney two blues u10s where i was vice captain and we had a very successful campaign. Also in 2023 i was picked for Sydney West NSWPSSA Primary Rugby Team which is an U12 competition where we placed 8th out of 16 catchments.

Going to Japan is such a massive opportunity for me to attend. My dad will be coming with me and my team.

The funds raised for the tour will be greatly appreciated and i will use them for accommodation, flights, food and sight seeing.

Never in my life would i have thought that rugby would take me anywhere, especially to another country. This is an opportunity i really dont want to miss out on.

I will provide progress reports via photos and status updates to let everyone know how im going and what im doing.

Thank you.
