Scooter rider Lucy Davis, 17, from Beachlands, has qualified for the world championships.
Now Davis, a year 13 student at Howick College, needs to raise $10,000 to get her there.
“I have been riding scooters for about three years now and recently qualified for the world championships that will be held in either Argentina in South America or Arizona in the USA,” Davis told the Times.
“I’m trying to achieve my goal of raising around $10,000 to be able to pay for my flights and accommodation for the time that I am there.
“My sponsor MGP Action Sports supported me in getting to the Australasian championships in May which I placed first in.
“I was stoked to have won my first international competition and so was the MGP team.
“The world championships are happening sometime around October. They haven’t released the official dates yet but they have said it will be between mid-October and early November.”
