Ruby, my 15 year old daughter has been selected to represent Great Britain in the Under 18’s girls football team at the Maccabiah games this summer in Israel. They’re a really strong, determined team, and are currently training twice a week in preparation for the games. They also spent a weekend at Lilleshall where England train, and learnt a great deal about fitness and nutrition.

The Maccabiah games is a huge event, the third largest sporting event after the Olympics and Commonwealth Games. However, it obviously comes at a cost, £4.500 to be precise, and that’s just for Ruby to attend.

Your support is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
