*Please note this prize will only be available for the free draw entries. Part of the legal requirements in order to use Crowdfunder.
The Masters programme is entirely self funded, with the estimated costs between £1500-2000. All money will go towards funding the cost of expenses for the training camps, kit, accommodation and travel. Any support, however small, would be really appreciated. With a young family and the current financial climate, this will be a challenge to self fund without the generosity of those who are able to support me.
T
As you may remember, I had major hip surgery in Feb 2024. This is part of the motivation to make the squad after suffering some setbacks in my recovery last summer, which left me wondering if I would be able to play hockey properly again. Therefore if my hip recovery does not progress enough, or if I am injured/not selected for the final 18 squad, any surplus money not used would be split directly between two causes. The first, HockeyforHeroes, is a fantastic charity doing amazing things (https://hockeyforheroes.co.uk/). The second would go towards the Hitchin Boys' Rugby/Hockey tour to Canada in 2026. This would help add to an amazing opportunity for students from a state school to play sport abroad.
How to Enter
Each ticket will cost £5 to enter. There are unlimited entries, so if you would like to buy multiple tickets, please feel free to do so with an extended thank you and appreciation!
*Free entries are also welcome as part of the legal framework within Crowdfunder. Please note this will be limited to the GB Athletics Training top.
The entries will be decided with first prize being able to choose their option, followed by the second choice for the 2nd prize etc etc. Please keep your eye's out for any additional prizes donated.
The draw will close on Weds 30th April, or once the full amount has been raised.
I will notify the winners one by one and organise selection of prizes and delivery of prizes won.
Thank you again for considering to donate to my fundraiser, your support is incredibly appreciated!
