World Championships Triathlon Sprint international · 12 June 2007

The Youth Sport Trust is a charity devoted to building a brighter future for young people through sport - improving health & well-being, developing leadership skills & raising achievement. Over the last 20 years we have transformed the lives of millions of young people in the UK & across the world.

Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.
As a result of winning selection in May 2007 to represent England & Great Britain at two different sports - shooting and triathlon - I have now competed in FIVE international events plus ONE non-international event in just over three months!

My aim was to use participation in these SIX events to raise money for the Youth Sports Trust. I feel very strongly that youngsters should have the opportunity to participate in sport and that's why I've chosen this charity!

So having now completed all SIX events (see below) I'm asking for final sponsorship from individuals or companies before the end of November - please give generously!
