Story
My name is Laura, I am 11 years old and have been dancing since the age of 5 and compete in Championships all over the UK and Ireland.
My biggest achievements are wining the Southern Regional Oireachtas 2018, 3rd in the Scottish Nationals and coming 8th at the Great Britain Championships 2018 and re-qualifying for the World Championships in North Carolina, USA in April 2019.
I also placed 17th in the All Ireland's in Killarney last year, this is the biggest competition after the worlds.
After the excitement of qualifying last year, I was completely heartbroken to discover that I was unable to compete due to association with judges. This competition was held in Glasgow meaning the cost would have been achievable for my parents. I cannot express the feeling of utter devastation when I was told this news and I really don't want to miss out again on another world Championship after all my hard work to qualify.
Dancing is my life and passion, I train very hard 5 days a week, so if you could donate any amount to help me, it would be appreciated.
A dream doesn't become reality through magic, it takes sweat, determination and hard work. Please make my dreams come true and help me to get to the World Championships in Greensboro, North Carolina to compete in this prestigious competition.
Thank you.
Laura

5 years agoIn October, I started this page for Laura. This isn't something that I felt comfortable doing but without all of the kind and generous donations we have received, Laura wouldn't have been able to attend this Elite Competition. I can't express how truly grateful I am to everyone who has helped make Laura's dreams come true. Laura has been training & competing hard & never ceases to amaze me with her dedication, determination and commitment and makes me so proud every time she dances. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Dee and Laura
