I am a figure skater from Newcastle and have recently just joined a synchronised skating team in Cardiff. I am having to travel down to Cardiff as much as I can to train with the synchro team, but I am struggling to afford the expense on top of my solo skating. In January we have 3 competitions and 2 of them are abroad ( Berlin, Austria and Nottingham) these competitions are not cheap and I am struggling to be able to make the money myself especially when I have to take unpaid time off work to be able to train. Additionally if the team qualify I will be going to the world championships in America (Colorado) in April.
Additionally I am an aerial hoop artist and I am hoping to put my skating and aerial hoop skills together to do an on ice show. I currently am no longer able to afford aerial classes because the cost of my skating is so expensive.
I am working 2 jobs as well trying to set up my own business but I am struggling to get hours to fit around my skating as a personal trainer and sports massage therapist.
Any donations no matter how small would be greatly appreciated, thank you! :)
