I am currently looking for kind individuals and companies to help me raise funds to allow me to represent my country in the World Deaf Rugby Union 7's tournament to be held in Sydney, Australia in April 2018.

As some of you are already aware I have enjoyed playing for England Deaf Rugby Union (EDRU) for a number of years and have been selected for the upcoming three test match series against the New Zealand Deaf Blacks In November 2017.

Unfortunately, due to the cost of funding community projects and confirmed fixtures during the 2017 /2018 season against Argentina Deaf, Wales Deaf & New Zealand Deaf, EDRU cannot contribute towards players costs for the World Deaf Rugby 7’s Australia event which is to be a self-funded (individual sponsorship) event.

Therefore, I have to raise £1500 in order to attend and represent England Deaf Rugby Union at the World Deaf Rugby Union 7's tournament. If anyone is in a position to donate, no matter the amount, I will be extremely grateful as it would allow me to fulfil a lifelong ambition of representing my country in a World Cup.

Funds will be used to cover travel, accommodation and food costs. Any excess funds will be donated to EDRU to support me in attending future fixtures.

I genuinely appreciate any support or help anyone can give.

Many thanks
