Hi my name is Bo-Louise and I'm 14 and I live on the Isle of Wight. You can see from the pictures how my journey started to how its going. 4 years ago I knew I needed to make the move to the mainland to carry on with my Rugby ambition. I made the move from Vectis RFC and joined Havant RFC. This is the best move I ever made, as I have recently been selected to join England U16 Player Development Group.

This is a huge commitment and I can't wait to take on the challenge. The downside to this is being based on the Isle of Wight. My parents are great and fully support me but I want to try and help ease the financial burden they face. We have applied to different scheme for assistance but as of yet the full costs falls on my parents. We are currently travelling over 3 times a week either in the car or on foot and using public transport the other side. They both work full time and between them they are always by my side.

If you can just help in a little way, I promise I will make you proud. After watching the recent Red Roses World Cup campaign I can only dream of wearing that shirt and following in their footsteps.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
