Getting to Euro deaf athletics 2015
Donation protected
I am trying to raise the funds to be able to represent Great Britain in the European Deaf athletics championships in Poland in July 2015, unfortunately deaf sport receives no funding from our national sporting bodies, because the disability does not fall within a Paralympic disability category. Therefore in order to compete internationally we are required to pay for everything right down to the gb kit we wear ourselves.
I am currently ranked number one in the UK for deaf women's hammer, I have represented Great Britain since 2003, when I have been able to raise the money to do so. In 2007 I won the gold at the deaf Europeans in Bulgaria.
Ideally the team needs to raise in the region of £10,000 collectively, but individually my target is £1000 after 2 years out of international competition due to circumstances and lack of funding I'd love the opportunity to once again compete for great Britain.. any help at all would be much appreciated! :)
