Thank you to all my supporters on this site!!!  You have been fantastic in your efforts to get me to Georgia.  It was a great experience and I couldn\'t have made it without your help.

I am 12 years old and have trained in the Olympic sports of Taekwondo since I was 5 years old.  I have reached 2nd Dan Black Belt through hard training and usually train 5 times a week at my club South Hams Taekwondo with my master instructor, Dave Desforges, as well as with my dad.

It is my ambition to represent my country and possibly one day achieve the Olympic dream.  I won silver medal at the British Nationals 2010 for the Male Cadets -33 kg category and I\'m training very hard at the moment for the upcoming British Nationals 2011 which will be held in Manchester mid June.

I have competed nationally at Barnsley, Sheffield, Manchester to London, Southampton and Bournemouth.  Since 2010, I started competing at European events in Austria, Croatia, Germany, Sweden and Belgium.  I reached the semi finals stage in Stuttgart Germany and in Sweden to bring home bronze medals.  At the recent trip to the Dutch Masters 2011 in Holland, I won my two fights and received a gold trophy for winning.

The sport development body for Taekwondo, STUK has just informed me that I have been selected to represent Team GB at the 4th European Cadet Championships in Tbilisi, Georgia in July 2011!

I am very pleased that I am closer to the goal of representing my country.  However this means my parents will have to totally fund the cost of the trip.  They have given my sister and I great financial support in the past with our competition fees, travel and accommodation costs for the numerous European competitions. They are struggling to make ends meet and with the deadline so close, it will be very difficult to raise the required money without your help

The money collected will go towards 
- my official uniform
- any travel and cost of training camps
- insurances
- competition fees to organisers
- flights to Tbilisi, Georgia, and
- one week\'s accommodation and food.

The payment will be required by STUK by end of June so please help.

Any amount you donate will help whether it is
- £1
- £5
- £10
- or more.
If everyone who reads this contributes something, it will take get me closer to my goal.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Please Get Me To Georgia!
