Funding for the world championships
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Heidi Walsh, I'm 19 years old and I'm on the senior women's GB Freestyle Kayak team. I've only been kayaking for 3 years but since moving to Loughborough university I've had the opportunity to train harder than before which has helped me to gain a team place for the first time.
Unfortunately, freestyle kayaking is a self-funded sport and as a student it has been hard to save money for international competitions. In my holidays I work at Lee Valley White Water Centre so that I can earn money and train at the same time but with flights alone costing almost £700 this trip is going to be expensive and hard to fund. Any help would be greatly appreciated so that I could compete in my first world championships!
As a thank you for any help I would happily promote you on social media or put your logo on my kit or give you many many hugs xoxo
