Help Lillie Represent the National 7s Academy in Montpellie

Rugby has been a significant part of my life for the past four years, shaping not only my physical abilities but also my character and resilience. Recently, I received exciting news that I've been provisionally named in the National 7s Academy Squad to represent our team at the Winter 7s tournament in Montpellier, France. This opportunity is a dream come true for me, especially considering the hard work and dedication I have put into my training and development as a player.

The journey to this point has not been without its challenges. I faced a serious injury that sidelined me for a considerable time, testing my mental strength and determination. However, I am thrilled to say that I have fully recovered and am eager to get back on the field. Being selected for this tournament, especially among over 97 applicants, is not only a massive achievement but also a testament to my commitment to the sport and my growth as a player.

The tournament is scheduled to take place from January 30th to February 2nd, where we will compete in the U19 International Competition. This event will not only allow me to showcase my skills but also present a unique opportunity to learn from the elite Men's and Women's squads. Watching the Lionesses, fresh from their impressive 28-7 Championship win in Dubai, will undoubtedly inspire me and my teammates as we prepare for our own matches.

However, to make this incredible experience a reality, I need to raise £929.99 by January 20th. This cost covers return flights, hotel accommodation, all meals, a kit package, and insurance. It is a significant amount, but I believe that with the support of my friends, family, and community, I can achieve this goal. Every contribution, no matter how small, will help me take this crucial step in my rugby career and allow me to represent my academy on an international stage.

this opportunity to play in Montpellier is not just about the games; it’s about growth, teamwork, and the chance to represent my academy and country. I am excited to embrace this challenge and showcase the skills I have developed over the years. I appreciate any support you can provide to help me reach my fundraising goal and make this dream a reality. Thank you for considering supporting my journey in rugby!
