Hello! My name is Zach Bunnell. I've recently been selected to compete for USMF National Team in Bangkok Thailand for the 2015 Royal World Cup as a amateur Muay Thai athlete. I the competition runs from August 12th-23rd. I obviously need to purchase my ticket well before the start date. Sadly the U.S. Team is not funded. I currently live in Reno NV, with my beautiful wife Candice, and my beyond amazing, soon to be 2 year old daughter, Aislin. They are by far my biggest supporters! Every opportunity I get I commute to Dublin CA, to the world renown gym Combat Sports Academy, which I've been blessed to represent and compete out of. Now, the problem is, we are not in a financial position to send me oversees to compete in this world renown competition. This sport is not just a hobby for me. I have dedicated, but what is soon to be, the last decade of my life to training, fighting and growing in this beautiful art. I hold multiple titles here state side, one of which being a IKF international world title and have competed in over 20 sanction bouts. I, with the help of my buisness partner, have even gone as far as starting my own gym here, Reno City Kickboxing, which is scheduled to open August 1st. This potential gamble has done a great job of depleting what would have potentially been the resources needed to get me there. I have never been one to ask for help, especially like this, but I have no other option. I'm chasing a dream, one that I refuse to let go of, but I need your help. I need to make this dream a reality, not just for myself, actually least of all for myself. I need to make this dream a reality for my dad, for my grandma, for my wife, but most of all for my daughter. The time people have taken to go to school, get certifications and licenses, and start careers, I have spent it grinding for opportunities like these that I can't just watch pass me by. I want to be able to one day give my family, to give my baby girl, the life they dream of from my blood sweat and tears. Now without getting to long winded, I humbly ask for your help, and will not let this opportunity go to waste, and will work my butt off to not disappoint you!!!!
Also I apologize for any grammatical errors. I fight and get punched, a lot. No one is here to proofread this for me. It's rare I ever need to put more than three words together at a time so bare with me. I dont spell or form sentences to goodly! ;)
