my name is Gerard I'm 16 years old, I am hoping to raise funds from donations to help me reach my full potential in getting as far as I can in the world of martial arts, I have trained in martial arts since I was 4 years old. I was bullied all through school, my mum is epileptic so I help my nan care for her. Martial arts is a way of life for me it's a break from being a carer to my mum, the money raised would go towards competitions and equipment I need for the competitions which I have coming up starting in march including European championship games in London. I'm hoping to represent England
