Project aim

Having qualified for Team GB I need your help to compete in the European Sprint Duathlon and Triathlon Championships in Germany and Lisbon next year

About the project

I have the opportunity to compete for Team GB in Germany (March 2016) at the European Age Group Duathlon Championships and Portugal (May 2016) at the European Age Group Triathlon Championships. Unfortunately nothing is subsidised so it is up to individual athletes to fund everything. I am looking for £1000 to help me raise my final total of £4700 which is broken down in to £200 for GB kit, training costs of £100/month, entry fees for the Championship events plus warm-up events of £400, £1500 flight/accomodation/bike carriage for two events. The single biggest expense is the purchase of a new bike (£2000) due to changes in the rules which mean my newly self funded bike can't be used in duathlon.

Competing for Great Britain has been a dream since I was tiny and started gymnastics aged 5 years old. I moved on to highboard diving when I started University but just missed out on Team GB so I am absolutely thrilled as a relative newbie to triathlon to finally be able to represent my country.

Any help you can give me would be much appreciated!

Thank you :-)
