Hi my name is Ella and I am nearly 13 years old. I compete in Karate. My parents do everything they can to help me but this sport is getting more and more increasingly expensive the more I compete (equipment, fee's, licences, entry fee's, travel etc). I have won 13 medals in 6 competitions Gold's, Silver's and Bronze's. I compete in Kata but also in Kumite (kumite fighting seems to be my talent). I have ex England Sports coaches and they are my sensei's, I train at least 4 times a week and attend fight club. I have ADHD and this has been really challenging, but I am working hard to turn this into a positive. I have found something that helps me focus and shows me discipline and I have determination and the resilience to keep training to perfect my sport. I am alive when I am competing! I am showing real promise and this is my passion. This is my dream. We have lots of upcoming travel coming up, competition fee's (we have had 3 competition's over the past few weeks) My aim is to get selected for England when I am old enough and the Olympics in the future. This crowd funding would help toward's classes, competitions, licence and equipment and then as I progress to get myself selected for the England Team (from the age of 14-next year). I need to be competing more and abroad and as a normal working family this really is a big financial commitment to my parent's. My Mum and Dad will support me and will continue to pay for what I need. I am just asking for some help towards travel to help take some of the pressure off of my parents as they pay alot towards my sport already. Please help me "Ella G" gain her England Dream. Thank you for reading.

Love Ella G and family. x
