My name is Martyn Spence, and I was the CRO for Area 4 at the recent IPSC Shotgun World Championship in Greece.

We are raising funds for Maria Котова Марія, on behalf of GB/IPSC competitors and range officers.

Maria is a dedicated Ukrainian match official who spent over two weeks at the IPSC Shotgun World Shoot. Those who were there will remember her smiling face on stage 19.

Maria travelled from a war zone and took precious holiday to help us deliver a great experience to competitors and a fantastic world shoot.

On the picture you can see Maria in Ukraine, standing next to what is left of her house. She came back not to her home, but to an empty burnt out shell.

A group of fellow match officials and grateful competitors are asking friends to contribute a little something to help our friend and fellow IPSC athlete Maria get back on her feet and set up her new home.
