Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
My name is Hailey and I am the Scottish Regional Co-ordinator for the Dwarf Sports Association (DSAuk)
Within Scotland, we have over 80 families affected with dwarfism. The region provides monthly sporting activities. Each year we attend the DSAuk National Games in Birmingham. This year we had 20 Scottish athletes attend and return with an amazing haul of medals and the long fought after Dsauk Regional Fundraising Trophy
The Region celebrated its 8th Birthday this June and we couldn't be prouder of our members and supporters!
Every 4 years the Dsauk attends the World Dwarf Games, and after cancellations due to covid, 13 Scottish athletes attended the 8th World Games in Cologne, Germany from 28th July to 5th August 2023. The Scottish team returned with an AMAZING 48 Medals!!! Showing not only their skills and determination but a real ambition to be part of Team GB and show true sportsmanship at every level.
We already know that the next World Games will be held in Australia in 2027 (dates to be confirmed) With each athlete and their families having to cover all costs this will be an expensive trip.
Throughout the next 4 years we will be doing lots of fundraising events and welcome any help and support for such a special and inspirational group of people.... we may be small but we have big ambitions!
If you know of any companies that could help support flight costs, team kit, and the likes please contact myself.
Thank you
