My name is Ffion Pickstock, I'm 15 years old, and I have got through to the final of the Hard Mtb League mountain bike race in Boise, Idaho, on October 24th, just a few weeks away.

I competed in the Qualifier in Boise in May this year and came 3rd. I was so happy.

Unfortunately, right now, I just don't have enough funds to get there, so I am setting up a Go Fund Me to support my journey and to help fund flights, accommodation, and car hire. I have been cleaning and cutting lawns to help raise some money but at the moment it isn't enough.

My friend Lib set up a Go Fund Me to support me with the costs in May, and so many people donated, we were so very grateful to everyone and Lib.

Unfortunately, in May this year, on the day of my competition in Idaho, my Dad became seriously unwell back home. He had Sepsis, and the Doctors told my Mum he was very lucky to be here.

Since May, my Dad has sadly had Sepsis two more times. He was unable to work for a couple of months. He is self-employed, so this has been very difficult for our family and my Dad. My Dad is very slowly recovering, I'm so thankful.

My dream is to compete in the final of Hard Mtb League, and I would be so grateful of your support. Every single donation makes a huge difference to me, I read every message and am truly grateful to anyone who can support me in any way.

Thank you soooo much, big love, Ffi xxx

*If we don't raise enough funds for the trip, we will endeavour to contact everyone who kindly donates to give you your money back (minus fees) Thank you
