Help Sharon get to World Powerlifting champs

Hi my name is Sharon Holmes, a wife, a mum and a fanatical powerlifter! I started powerlifting 6 years ago and in that time I have competed 13 times, 2 of them internationally for GB in Hungary and Sweden. I recently won the British Masters under 63kg class which put me up for selection for the British team to go to the World Classic Powerlifting competition in Newfoundland, Canada in October. This is an entirely self funded sport and up until now I have been lucky enough to have been able to cover all the costs of travelling and competing myself. Sadly this time the costs are a lot more and I am having to ask for some help. As an example just getting to Canada is looking at costing between £750-950 for flights then there are hotel costs, anti doping fees, participation fees, kit fees and so on.

There is a whole emotional story behind this that would let you know why competing for Great Britain is so important to me, but you don’t want to hear all that, it’d just make you cry!

I eat, sleep and breathe powerlifting (just ask my long suffering family) and I train 5 days a week, this is not a hobby for me, this is part of my every day its as routine as cleaning my teeth!! I’m trying to do everything I can leaving no stone unturned to try to bring the best version of me to Canada.

I’d be so grateful if you can donate whatever you can to help me cover some of these costs, any donation big or small will be put to good use and I’m sure the support of others will help me lift more weight!!!
