My name is Badar Shahzad, and I am proud to have been selected to represent England at the IMMAF World Championships in Abu Dhabi.

This is a huge achievement and the result of hard work, sacrifice, and dedication to the sport. Competing on the world stage against the best young athletes from around the globe is an incredible opportunity!!

Unfortunately, athletes are responsible for funding much of the cost themselves, including flights, accommodation, competition fees, and team kit. The total cost of attending the championships is significant, which is why I am reaching out for support.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, will help me take another step towards representing England and competing at the highest level possible.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any support you are able to give. I will be sharing updates throughout my journey so that everyone who supports me can follow my progress as I prepare @badarshahzadmma on Instagram!
