    Story

    Emma Ruthven, has been selected to represent Scotland at the Junior European Karate Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria in February 2017 and all concerned are immensely proud of her achievements in karate, particularly this one.

    Over the past year, Emma has competed all over Europe and has travelled as far as New York, winning medals on most occasions. Unfortunately, these trips to competitions are entirely "self funded" with no funding from Sport Scotland or in turn the National Governing Body. Funding for karate at present is zero, hopefully this might change, as a result of karate's inclusion in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, but for the moment all trips for elite athletes such as Emma, are funded by "The Bank of Mum and Dad", putting parents under financial pressure to enable their kids to fulfill their potential.

    Hence the reason for this appeal to assist in funding an elite Junior Athlete in fullfilling her dreams.
