Listing 2 things to fund raise money

So I have to list 2 things how to raise money to support the Paralympics athletes.  With my family, friends or myself .The Paralympics athletes need money so that they can fly to New Zealand to Rio de janeiro.

  1. I can do a fund raise like a sausage sizzle, A pacific dancing show or giving chocolate for 1 dollar. That how I can get the money.
  2. I can get the money from my pocket money that I get sometime and donate my money to the athletes.

Who to choose

At the first ever Paralympic Games in Rome, the athletes competed in eight sports. Cycling was one of them. For the cycling event, two people compete together as a team – one of the people has a disability and the other does not. Here is a picture of a para-cycling team from New Zealand:

At the moment the most famous para-cycling team in New Zealand is comprised of two female athletes – Emma Foy and Laura Thompson. Emma is blind but Laura is not. Together they work as an amazing team. Imagine that you were asked to compete in a tandem cycling event and you had to choose one person to compete with. Who would it be?

My partner for the Tandem cycling is my uncle Tino. Because he always run with his children and also me. He has a strength and he is not really that good at riding a bike. I choose for fun and also he is my uncle and I would just like to choose him.
