Every season, Australian fencers earn selection through grit, talent and countless hours on the piste. But for too many, the journey stops when travel costs begin.

Thanks to early support for On Guard for the Journey, we’re building a Travel Fund that helps athletes turn selection into competition.

Your support means talent gets the final say — not cost.
