I am a Fencer from Sheffield, currently a 2nd year Dental Student at The University Of Sheffield.

I have been selected for the Junior European Championships 2018 in Sochi, Russia. Currently I am Junior British Number 1, Junior British Champion and ranked 17th in the Junior World Rankings. I have been competing in Junior World cups throughout the year working towards my selection for these championships. Now the selections have been made I am trying to raise some funds for my trip as the full cost falls upon me and my family.

Last year I competed in the Junior European Championships in Bulgaria and placed 12th, this year I aim to bring home a medal and me and my coach Anthony Klenczar are working hard to make this a reality.

My career goal is to be the first British Fencer since 1994 to win an Olympic medal and these championships are an essential experience I need for this to be possible.

Donations of any amount will be greatly appreciated and go along way to helping me on my journey.
