I’m a professional kayaker with an ambition to go to the Rio Olympics. My sport is my life, my passion. It’s also my profession out of kayaking shooting the worlds best whitewater in the most remote places of the globe.</p>

<strong>What are you funding?</strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
You’re funding a dream and turning it into a reality. This concept is going to make my Olympic Dream a reality, but expose our sport in a way it’s never been seen before. Portraying the beauty of the river and introducing you, and the world, to the favourite personalities of the canoe slalom community as I meet them, train with them and we journey together to the Rio Olympics.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong>What do you get back?</strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
This isn’t just a hand out, it’s a hand up. You’ll be helping me and in return I’ll help you by gifting you an amazing shot to decorate your office, living room, 1on1 photo/video tutorial or even the unique experience of going down my favorite river with me and have a video of the experience.</p>
