Commonwealth Fencing Championships

Hey guys, 
So I'm a fencer. whilst there is a very long and tragic backstory, I'll save that for X-factor and just stick to what I've been doing in the past year and why I'm appealing for your financial help in getting me to Commonwealth Fencing in Australia in November. 
After graduating university last year I decided to take a year to train full time and see where I ended up. The goal was Commonwealths, rather optimistically but it gave me something to work towards. Over this year I've rapidly risen up the British ranking list, competed for Team GB at several world cups and placed 3rd at the British Championships this year. Amazingly, I received my e-mail from England fencing a month ago, stating that I had won a place on the Commonwealth team. 
At this point in time I am entirely self-funded, working part-time jobs and coaching in order to continue training and paying for international competitions. What I am asking for today is your help to pay for flights to get to Canberra.  Any athlete will tell you that their sport is expensive if you wish to compete at your best ability, I hope that people reading this will recognise and react positively and allow me to compete at my best when the opportunity arrives in November. 
In terms of other achievements I have been a university national champion, competed for England before at both student and senior 5 nations events as well as won numerous Open competitions within the UK. 
Thank you for your generosity :)
