Ladies and gentlemen, can I first start by saying a huge thank you for just clicking on my link and reading this post.
As you may know I've been kickboxing for a fair few years now. I competed in the British Championships in February 2016 and came out with the Bronze medal.
Following that I have been selected by the World Kickboxing Association (WKA) England to travel to Italy and represent Team England in the Unified World Championships this October. As a result I need to raise £780 by 8th August to secure my place and have the privilege of representing our country.
Currently there are no government funds to help fund the English competitors or these competitions which is why I am here asking for any donation, however small they may be, to help me achieve this massive step in my sporting ambitions.
All donations will go towards:
Competitor Entry Fee.
WKA Team England Tracksuit.
WKA Team England Competition Suit.
WKA Team England T-Shirt.
WKA Fighters License (for insurance purposes).
Accommodation Transfers from Airport to Hotel.
Coach from Hotel to Competition Venue.
Cheapest Return Flights Leeds-Pisa + Return.
If by any chance I manage to raise more than required, the extra amount fundraised will go directly to a charity. I will be competing in the -60kg Full contact (Ring Sport) and the -60kg Light Contact (Ring Sport) categories. Currently weighing in at around 62kg so an exact weight to be determined closer to the time.
Again, thank you for all your donation, encouragement and most of all, thank you for all the support. Thanks to the guys at Leeds Martial Arts College, for putting up with me and preparing me for this competition and WKA England for giving me this unique opportunity.
