Story
Hi, I'm a Track and Field Athlete; an England International. I have been very fortunate to have enjoyed a great deal of success, and have been a British Champion on two occasions, as well as having won many County and Regional titles.
In recent times I have focused on the Decathlon; a discipline with ten events over two days of competition. The Decathlon requires me to have a substantial list of equipment from shoes, eight pairs for the different events, to throwing implements, that's a Discus, Shot and a Javelin. Having my own equipment allows me me perform at the highest possible standard, and in events where tiny percentages count this personal equipment is essential.
I am fortunate enough that through my own endeavours, and some small contributions, I have been able to cover the majority of my kit and equipment costs. However the Javelin in a very precisley engineerd piece of equipment and it does come at a cost which is beyond my finances at this time.
I am hoping that through the generosity of crowd funding we will be able to raise funds which will allow me to purchase this essential part of my equipment.
My goal is to work towards qualification and selection for the World Championships in 2020.
Many thanks for taking the time to read this, and if appropriate for your kind contribution.
