I don’t even know where to begin, other than getting my team to Spain is currently one of the biggest priorities in my life.
I’ve never been one to like sport (ew brother, ew, what is that?). But a few years ago, my partner surprised me with a pair of skates for Christmas. Skates!! Christmas!! They were absolute perfection. But I had absolutely no clue where to start.
Somehow, a friend of mine happened to know someone who is now one of my best friends; Zelfire. She put us in touch and from there I met some of the most inclusive, supportive, empowering, strong, and brave people I know today. Every time I put my danger wheels on I know I will be ok – these are people I trust with everything. Not many people can put up with my… levels of odd, but they do. I’m so lucky I get to skate with my team, and I am so lucky I get this chance to skate in a sport that I am completely obsessed with IN SPAIN.
I have learned so much about skating and my own resilience and determination since joining this league, and I am so excited for what’s to come. This is just the beginning!
Please help us get to Spain – you can do this by donating to me or any other skater in the team. This money goes directly to us to cover our own expenses (flights, Visas, ice cream, etc) with a bit to the league, or consider donating to our league as a whole – all the funds we raise will go to covering accommodation and internal transport.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this and for your support – our league cannot do this without you!
Please note that 25% of your contribution goes towards Cape Town Rollergirls’ costs for the Iron Meisies to get to Spain (accommodation, transport, etc), as well as processing fees.
The rest of the donation goes directly to the skater, towards whatever they need to get them and their skates to Spain.
Thank you so much for your support!
