We are writing to you in the hope that you may be able to support our fundraising efforts for the 13 members of Bracknell Gymnastics Club who have been selected to represent Great Britain at the forthcoming European TeamGym Championships in Odivelas, Portugal.

The cost of sending GBR gymnasts to major events is considerable. Although we are grateful to British Gymnastics for covering the costs of competition entry, coaches and medical staff for the event, the gymnasts must self fund their own travel, accommodation and costs for uniform, which is estimated at £1,200 per gymnast.

Bracknell Gymnastics Club is inordinately proud of these gymnasts (many of whom also coach at the club) and is committed to supporting their fundraising for this exciting opportunity. We have already raised 15% of the total cost of sending the gymnasts to Portugal for this event through the Lexicon Charity Partnership and sponsored participants in the Lexicon Half Marathon.
