Disability shooting Great Britain

Donation protected
Hello my name is ian spridgens 4 yrs ago my life changed dramatically I had my first stroke and since then I have had 2 more main stokes and approximately 14 Tia versions .I took up air rifle target shooting on the advice of my neurologist physiotherapist to try and get memory muscle back into my left side .last year I was put into my first league competition which I came joint first on points but lost out on aggregate which only made me more determined, and in the summer league I was put in a league 5 division higher than before because of my averages.  I then managed to win with a round to go with the second highest score in the whole competition which is a predominately an able bodied league.Also last year I was invited to attend stoke mandeville disability shooting Great Britain training once a month to train towards the possibility of representing Great Britain in 10 mtr target shooting.im looking for funding in this for new and different equipment I.e competition rifle,shooting jacket and other necessary equipment ,also to enter various competitions around the country to get my name around  in the shooting circles ,since this has happened I've taken time to qualify as a club instructor,range conducting officer and also a class 3 scorer . I have been volunteering at a local target shooting club in grantham and since I've been there we have trebled our weekly numbers and I'm coaching approximately 10 juniors aged between 7-16 and 3 off them are just registered into some competition later this year .i also work with the visually impaired side of target shooting at our club , in the last 6 weeks I've been asked by L.S.R.A to help instruct in a local school teaching 18 youngsters a N.S.R.A marksman course ,which all 18 have passed and the course has been so successful we have been asked to organise a second course.

Hopefully there are many kind and wonderful people out there that can help me in my own dreams of improving In my own plight for success ,and with anything  I can learn on my long route to my goals of representing this great nation in this amazing sport ,which has given me a new lease of life after such a massive change in my circumstances,

Thank you for taking time to read my fundraising page .
