Edit : Thank you so much to everyone who donated and got me to my initial target. I have extended this slightly to see if I can raise more which would go towards next years competitions. It is a very expensive self funded amateur sport and I'm so grateful for the help. It makes it possible for me to do this.

Hi everyone,

So for those that don't know I'm a Taekwon-Do instructor and competitor. I have represented England at the World and European Championships across the world for many years and I'm happy to say I've had some success with this in my time. This will be my 11th year competing for the national team and up until this point I have been able to fund the trips by myself however without a sponsor this is becoming far more difficult to do, this time sadly I am not able to fund this on my own.

I am hoping to be able to raise the necessary funds through students, friends and family so that I can represent the country at the highest level during the European Championships being held in Poland in April, and who knows....maybe even win something for the team!

The funds will be used to cover my travel expenses, hotel fees, training fees as well as similar costs in preparing for this tournament at smaller events in the build up.

Anything I receive will help tremendously and am very grateful for, if I surpass my target the remaining funds will be used for next years competitions where I intend to represent the country again.

Thank you for reading!
