Help Melissa to goto the IMMAF European tournament

Donation protected
So for those that know me, know that I have done a fair few things in life; Hip Hop dance, Hockey, Football, Breakdance and last but not least MMA.


I've always been happy with my achievements across each displine, except MMA - you can never achieve enough! 
 
I'm now 1 win - 2 losses into my amatur MMA career but these losses are lessons.

Lesson A: Don't leave it to a Judge to decide your fate.
Lesson B: You go into the next war stronger, faster, more technical, and with your mind more focused.
Lesson C: You will get there, because each loss is a lesson and you can only learn and get better.

Such lessons are organic and will continue to change, but each fighter learns their own lesson and creates their own journey.

"Running water never goes stale, so you just gotta keep on flowing" - Bruce Lee 

Training is intense and so far its been hard to bring the "No Mess" Melissa from training to the cage but when that clicks, I am bringing you a tsunami.  


It's no easy task to balance a full-time role as a manager and gymnastics coach, alongside training upto 15 hours a week across strength and conditioning, boxing, Muay Thai, wrestling, BJJ and sparring.  


The reason behind all of this back story: I recently trialled for the UK IMMAF team to hopefully be selected to be a part of the UK female team.


I did it! So I am now off to Rome in June to compete against other females at featherweight 145lb (65.8kg) in a five-day amateur MMA tournament from 17 to 23 June 2019.  
With the European IMMAF now looming in June my work schedule will change, moving to later work shifts so I can train more during the day, which may make this journey even tougher, but all I can do is imagine my head bowing to be awarded a gold medal around my neck; for the winner from the UK is Melissa Mullins... This is the thought that drives me!

Myself and my coaches are confident that I can go far and whichever professional platform I end upon I know up until that point of 'no more' I will have given it my all.

This is where you come in, as everyone these days knows working full time just pays the bills, free spending is a NO NO, as it is just not in a budget.
I need to raise a total of £1300 for:
• Flights
• Competition entry
• Hotel
• Food
• Uniform and kit
• Medicals
• Training and travel

Any additional money raised will go into a pot whereby if I compete and win I will go to IMMAF world's and represent England and the UK in November.

If you simply read over this and are not able to make any form of donation, I thank you for your time and kindly ask you to share and pass on the message.
If you are able to make any form of donation towards this, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Finally, thank you for all the support and love I have received prior and present my MMA career.

Yours greatfully, Melissa Mullins
