Nick Wagner - Potential Olympian
A$440
of $350 targetyrs ago
Successful on 20th May 2013 at 1:00AM.
Even though we've reached our target, Nick is going to need a lot more to get to Hawaii and beyond!!
And we want to support him to realise his potential. Check out his Facebook page.
On May 18th, he is competing in the world championship ocean race in Hawaii and in April his is competing in the Kayak National Championships. He is not a QAS/AIS athlete, which means he gets no funding - he pays his way for everything. He approached us seeking support: money, gear, clothing, vitamin supplements, anything.
He told us that he only needs $200 - $600. However I am sure he is going to need a lot more than that to pay for flights, accommodation, clothing, gear not to mention all the training costs to stay at his peak between now and then.
We are not agents - we get nothing financially out of this. However, we think he's got potential and we'd love to support him. We are going to provide him with discounted vitamin supplements through our partner USANA, 4 free sport psychology consultations as well as making him the Athlete Potential Sponsored Athlete for 2013.

Why are we doing this? Because I remember what it was like to fight the good fight for something greater and bigger than me. To get up every morning and work towards my dreams when everyone else around me was just cruising, having fun, playing. I remember what is was like when there was no-one to rely on, just me. And then, I remember the day that someone supported me, gave me a helping hand. I would not be the person I am today if that hadn't happened.
We know there are great people like you out there who want to make a difference.
So, we dare you. Make a difference.
