Help me to represent NI and the NIPF at the IPF Commonwealth
Donation protected
Hey my name is Catriona, I'm from a little town called Lurgan! My Powerlifting journey started at the beginning of 2023.
In this short space of time I have competed across the island of Ireland numerous times and have now been chosen to represent Northern Ireland and the NIPF on an International platform! The IPF Common wealth Championships of Powerlifting in South Africa this October! This is a huge hounour to be selected and to have the opportunity to show great things coming from a small town.
My goal this year was to compete on a national platform but this opportunity has completely blown my own goals out of the water! As Powerlifting is an amateur sport it is an entirely self funded, travel costs and accommodation at this level come with a significant expense! So this is why I have launched this page to get all the help I can, to grab this opportunity with both hands and hopefully bring back some medals
Your support no matter how big or small means so much to me, thank you all ya wee legends!
