My journey with paddling started in March 2017 with the wonderful club that I have a pleasure to be a Captain of, Henley Dragons. Firstly it was very innocent paddling but very quickly I got hooked up with league racing. With training and help from the team and coaches I progressed in the boat and became a stroke for the dragons which was a massive privilege. This year I also had this amazing opportunity to trial for the GB representation and I could not be happier to make the squad. It is an amazing feeling to be able to represent the country that has been my home for the past 12 years. I am very lucky to have people around who are helping me raise money to be able to take part in the European Championships, who have donated already so I was able to buy my racing kit. Dragon Boating is a self funded sport even on that level and I still have a long way to go that's why I am asking for your help. The money I will raise will help me to pay for my accommodation in Germany, racing fees, food, airport and hotel transfer to and from the venue, flights and any medical treatments before or after races. Even the smallest donation will make the difference and will make it possible for me to go and win some medals with the amazing team I am a part of
