James Representing England at World Cup in South Korea

My name is James McIlhagger and I have been selected to represent England at the U20 Lacrosse World Cup this August in Korea.

It is an incredible honour to have made it to this point and can’t wait to wear the England shirt this Summer as part of an incredible team.

However, I have to raise £4,500 to cover my flight, travel, kit and match expenses as lacrosse is a non funded sport. It isn’t a small amount of money and so I’m asking if you would help me on this incredible journey. Whether it’s £5 or £50 it makes a massive difference for me.

I have been playing lacrosse since primary school and, having progressed through the different age groups and leagues with Brooklands lacrosse Club, am now representing England. It’s an amazing honour and one which I do not take lightly.

I don’t expect anyone to cover the whole lot but every small donation puts me closer to my goal and I am grateful to you for even considering donating towards this opportunity.
