'The concept that a dollar can have a different amounts of impact, depending on where and to whom it is donated, is something I hadn’t considered before. I am proud to align with HIA, who have done the ground work in identifying where our donations will have the highest impact in tackling serious global issues.'

'We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." - Winston Churchill. With sport we find ourselves, albeit temporarily, in a very fortunate position to be role models in our communities. What High Impact Athletes is doing is fantastic by providing a platform for athletes to come together all over the world for the greater good. I feel very privileged to be a part of this group and hope to encourage more to give back in the same way.'

'High Impact Athletes aligns with my personal values and makes it easier to do more good in the world. I love when athletes do local community work, but I also think it's important to give our resources to the best charities doing the most impactful work across the globe. HIA is helping athletes accomplish that goal and that's why I'm excited to be a part of it.'

'The work that HIA is doing in the world, to not only make a difference through giving, but to do so in a way where the most possible good can be achieved is a cause I deeply support. Throughout my career I have learned that it is not enough to work harder in order to see results, but also to work smarter. HIA is applying this principle toward the best possible ends. I am excited to use my platform and resources to help further that vision in making a difference in communities around the world through partnering with the best operating organisations on the planet and HIA.'
