Elliott is 9 and absolutely loves table tennis. What started with him wanting to play whenever he spotted a table has grown into training regularly with Northop Table Tennis Club, joining the North Wales Regional Development Squad and, most recently, being selected for the Table Tennis Wales National Primary School Squad.

When we spoke to Elliott about fundraising, his idea wasn’t to raise money for himself. He wanted to raise enough to buy a table tennis table and equipment for his primary school, Park CP Llay, so his friends and other children could have the chance to play too.

So he’s set himself quite a challenge…

100 sit-ups every day for 30 days – 3,000 sit-ups!

Elliott started his challenge today and is determined to complete every single one.

The school has been incredibly supportive, and we’re also hoping to arrange for the North East Wales Table Tennis Development Officer to come into school regularly to run sessions with the children. So hopefully Elliott’s fundraising can be the start of something that gets lots more children picking up a bat and enjoying the sport.

All money raised will go towards a good-quality table tennis table, bats, balls and equipment for the school. If Elliott is lucky enough to raise more than is needed for one table, we’d love to put the extra towards a second table or additional equipment, so even more children can play.

Table tennis has given Elliott so much enjoyment already, and it’s lovely that he wants to use his own journey to give other children the opportunity to discover it too.

If you can spare anything to sponsor his 3,000 sit-ups, we’d be incredibly grateful. And if you can’t donate, a share would mean just as much. ❤️

100 a day. 30 days. 3,000 sit-ups. Let’s get his school playing!

Thank you for supporting Elliott. ❤️
