This sponsorship aims to cover Holder's training and competition expenses as she prepares to represent South Africa at the Olympic Games in Paris.
Good Morning Angels says twenty-two-year-old Aniya Holder, hailing from Gqeberha, has emerged as a force to be reckoned with in the world of speed climbing.
Demonstrating remarkable prowess, Holder can ascend a 15-meter wall in an astonishing 11.33 seconds. Despite facing setbacks with injuries in recent years, her resilience and determination have only fuelled her ambition further, leading her to qualify for the Olympic Games last December, according to the show.
Training in her hometown, Holder's dedication extends beyond her athletic endeavours, says the show. Working at a local Bouldering Gym, she juggles roles as a route setter, coach and hold shaper while nurturing her artistic talents.
The journey to the Olympics, however, presents significant financial challenges, including the necessity for frequent travel to Johannesburg to train on the only Olympic standard wall in South Africa, the show adds.
Everest Wealth, expressing their admiration for Holder's commitment and talent, has voiced their support, highlighting her extraordinary efforts to practice and fundraise for her Olympic journey, says Good Morning Angels. Recognising the significance of Holder representing South Africa on a global stage, Everest Wealth reached out to Jacaranda FM to assist Holder in her pursuit of Olympic glory.
According to Good Morning Angels, understanding the hurdles Holder faces, Everest Wealth has stepped in and will not only sponsor her flights to and from Johannesburg for essential training sessions but will also cover her international travel to Paris and provide spending money, ensuring that Holder can focus entirely on her Olympic dream.
"Holder recently achieved a significant milestone by qualifying for this year's Olympic Games in Paris. We have learned that Holder regularly travels by bus from Port Elizabeth to Johannesburg to come and practice, as it is the only wall in South Africa that meets Olympic standards," says Everest Wealth's Lundi Coetzee.
"She also held a fundraising campaign to contribute to the costs of her participation in the Olympic Games, as she must cover most of the expenses herself, including her flight tickets to and from Paris," adds Coetzee.
"We, as Everest Wealth, would like to fully support Holder by covering all her expenses for the Olympic Games, as well as purchasing her plane tickets to Johannesburg before the Olympic Games so that she does not have to take the bus to come and practice," Coetzee concludes.
The show concludes that Holder's story is a testament to the power of community support in realising the dreams of young athletes.
Jacaranda FM invites the nation to rally behind Holder as she prepares to make her mark at the Olympic Games and bring pride to South Africa.
