My name is Arthur, and I am a junior at UC Santa Cruz studying Business.

Being a member of UCSC Rugby has been one of the most impactful parts of my college experience. Through this program, I have developed leadership skills, built lifelong friendships, learned how to work as part of a team, and challenged myself both academically and athletically.

The opportunity to travel to New Zealand is especially meaningful to me because I'm returning from a knee injury, which kept me out of last season. The opportunity to train and sharpen my skillsets with the best coaches in the world in the cultural home of rugby is the best possible way to ignite my fire for the game and return to action!

I am working to raise $2,500 to participate in this experience. If you are able to contribute, I would be incredibly grateful. Every donation helps bring me one step closer to representing UCSC abroad and taking part in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Thank you for your encouragement, support, and belief in my journey.
