Help me to play International Rugby for Finland

Aim

Finland's international rugby team want me to play for them. I need to pay for flights and other costs. Please can you help?

 I am Dan Kirk , 17 years old. I  play Rugby with Southport RUFC and attend Myerscough sports college.

My mother is Finnish and I have been invited  to attend Selection camps to train with the Finland team and play international Rugby for Finland next Spring. There are 4 training camps between now and April 2023 which I need to attend to secure a place in the squad for the match. 5 trips to Finland in all. 

I am only 17 years old and have to pay for my own travel, transfers etc to the team base in Finland together with other expenses for which I need help raising the money.

 As I’m turning 18 in late December and the first camp is in early January I will be the youngest player in the camps and on the team. 

Preparation

I’m currently training 5 days a week doing heavy fitness work with college and the best Sports and conditioning coaches in my area . I am also Rugby training 4 days a week for College and my Club (Southport RUFC) in preparation for Finland.

Updates

I will be uploading updates on my Instagram and Facebook on the progress of my training and work in preparation for Finland.

Aims

I hope to raise approximately £1000 for each of 5 trips for flights , transfers, kit and camp , food and incidental costs.

This is an amazing opportunity for me to play international Rugby for the first time. I am very grateful for your donation no matter how much it is.

All funds will be used to fund my trips to Finland for training.

If donations fall short of my target I will use whatever is raised to attend as many training camps in Finland as I can afford.

As I am under 18 my uncle will be managing the accounts.
