kettlebell world championships

My name is Kristina, I am 45 years old. I started Kettlebells about one year ago, interested in giving another sport a try. After being involved with Martial Arts for 15 years years and achieving 2nd Dan black, I became the 2011 National champion in a knockdown tournament. I was invited to represent my contry in 2014 and travelled to Japan.  aftertaking a small break from Karate I started training with kettlebells. I was very new to this still reletively unknown sport but found I enjoyed it and my age didn't seem to be a problem. My now coach convinced me to give it a go, I enjoy it very much and train in open lift every week with a great bunch of supportive people. Jess also encouraged me to compete in the state titles, I was surprised to manage to last the full 10 minutes with 12 kg. I recently competed in the nationals with 16 kg and qualified for the worlds. The championships are in Ireland this year on the 25th November . I am asking for money for the airfares and accomadation. This could be a once in a lifetime opportunity and it would be amazing to get the chance.
