This is the 2nd year that Alex has been selected to represent NZ, it is an amazing achievement, but once again as a junior rider, this is self-funded. Over the next few months, he will be running various fund-raising events and any support from his local and wider community would be greatly appreciated so that he can actually get there.

Currently Alex has a 'Give a Little Page' and if anyone is in a position to donate, even a little bit, it will go a long way!

Please also feel free to share the page and if anyone is interested in sponsoring Alex, personally or through your business, we would love to hear from you.
