Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am training to compete in the 2022 IBJJF European Open, a Jiu JItsu tournament in Rome. Starting today, 13 December 2022, there will be 63 days of training until the official stat 14th February 2022.

MY proposal is to raise funds for the RISE organisation, a domestic abuse support organisations. What I would do to raise funds is that I train every one of these 63 days and provide proof from a photo or video or social media status update, also an update on this site. If I really can't train in jiu jitsu or the gym I will come up with something like a run or long kettlebell session.

I'm an out of shape old man so this is a big challenge for me, and I thought that if I'm putting myself through this grueling training, there might be an opportunity to raise some money for charity, much like people are sponsored for marathons etc.

So my proposal is: if you don't like me very much, throw in a few quid to see me suffer, if you do like me, and maybe would have bought me a beer or hamburger over the next 9 weeks, give that few quid to RISE instead, through thsle link on this page. Simple.

Anyway thanks for your support on this and let's see how it takes shape, seems exciting to me.
