“No one deserves this more”

My name is Lauren and my son, Jesse Dobson, is a 13 year old elite gymnast at Heathrow gymnastics club as well as being a member of the GB Development squad. He is an outstanding gymnast as well as a truly humble young man and has been taught for the past 5 years by his amazing coach, Tom Barnes.

Tom is an ex international gymnast and made his mark in the gymnastics field winning a number of titles. After many years in the sport he decided to hang up his guards to coach and guide the boys squad at Heathrow gymnastics club, where he has continued to shine through their success. As a result of that success, Jesse and Tom have been selected to represent Great Britain in a European training camp in Greece. It is an amazing opportunity for them both and we could not be prouder. The trip, whilst part paid for, will still cost us hundreds of pounds for each of them to go and we are struggling to find this with the ever increasing cost of living.

That is why we set this up. We need your support. We understand the cost of living is a problem for the majority of you reading this but if anyone can help to contribute any amount (and we truly mean any amount) to send them on this amazing trip, we would be forever grateful. Your support means everything.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and thank you, in advance, for any contributions you are able to make.
