I have adopted their ethos and like them, I want to ensure that every young person with cancer, and their family, receive the best possible care and professional support throughout their cancer journey.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 8.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I have competed at Regional, National and International competitions in the sport of Taekwondo. I have achieved titles at each level, including British Junior National Champion. I was also placed 4th after reaching the Quarter Finals of the Junior World Championships and have been invited for London 2012 Olympic Trials during my career.&nbsp;</span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 8.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">In addition to my competition results, I was selected as a Young Ambassador for promoting the London 2012 Olympics to the younger generation. My work here saw me shortlisted to attend the Beijing Olympics as guest of the British Olympic Foundation.&nbsp;</span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Away from the Taekwondo arena, I have also organised and completed the Land's End to John o' Groats Cycle Ride and the National 3 Peaks Challenge both as part of a team.&nbsp;</span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">This World Record Attempt is the perfect opportunity for me to raise funds to help young people deal with a disease that touches so many of us across the world.&nbsp;</span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I would really appreciate your donations, no matter how great or small as every penny is a step of progress towards my aims and the aims of the charity.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Arial;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Thank you for taking time to read this and for your donations.&nbsp;</span></p>
