AWPC World apowerlifting Championships - Idaho

Hi

I'm Alison and I'm on the best journey of my life.

6 years ago life was exhausting.

I was looking after my mum, dad, my own house, kids and full time job. I felt like I couldn't breathe.

My mum passed in April 2018, the same year I turned 50. On my 50th birthday I decided that enough was enough and if I didn't do something about my weight and health (mental and physical) I was going to put myself into an early grave.

I went to to Intershape Fitness in my home town of Colne, Lancashire and booked on a transformation course.

3 pts per week, food plan and daily check ins with the owner Margaret.

42lb light in 12 weeks!

This gave me the courage to turn my life around. I went to Burnley College and completed my gym level 2 qualification and then through the Intershape Academy where I then qualified as a level 3 Personal Trainer.

Since becoming a pt I have transformed many ladies and gents lives helping them with their goals and showing them how to train safety and changing their way of life.

I realised that I loved lifting weights and became friends with Jim Blanchflower a heavy weight powerlifting champion who put me through my paces for powerlifting.

Fast forward to this year, I have competed in the A/BPU (British Powerlifting) earning myself 2 British Records in the 82.5kg M4 squats and Bench categories.

I have just come home from the European championships in Poland earning myself 4 world records. European records and 1 British record.

I have also been invited to be on the International British Team to compete in Idaho USA at the end of August.

Now this is where I'm asking for help. Please could you help fund this once in a lifetime trip.

Flights, hotel and transport.

I hope I can inspire people of my age to actually be brave enough to go out and do the things that you have always wanted to do or even something you have never thought of doing!

Thankyou from the bottom of my heart.
