3 Deserving Causes!

Jeannette and Clair from Japan Karate Academy-Shitokai Johnstone are running (possibly jogging/walking/or more likely crawling) the Paisley 10k on the 19th August 2018, to raise funds for our chosen Charity -Finding Your Feet, Elite Athlete support & equipment for our club.

We chose Finding Your Feet after meeting the founder Corrine Hutton at Renfrewshire Sport Awards. Corrine delivered an awe inspiring speech. If you haven’t heard of them, check out their website. Finding Your Feet support families affected by amputation or limb difference, through a range of sporting initiatives and social inclusion projects. Plus they are local to our club.

Elite Athlete Support- Karate is Self Funded and we are looking to Support Matthew Chalk who is currently on the Scottish National Team, Scottish Kata Champion and currently ranked 20th in the World. To give you an idea of cost, to meet the selection criteria you are looking in the region of £6,000-£7,500. On top of that you have the costs to attend the competitions as part of the team. February he was at the European Championships in Russia £1,200, Croatia July for the Youth League £750 I could go on!

Our Club- We are looking to buy equipment Protective equipment for head, focus pads, stike pads, speed and agility sets and mats.
