Hi. I'm Tom. Local Harborian, dad of three, and recently selected to represent Team GB at the Over 50's Men's Basketball European Championships this summer in Athens, Greece!

Each player has to cover their own costs which includes monthly training sessions, official kit, team registration, and all travel and accommodation for the 10-day event from June 26-July 5. You can find more information here: https://www.fimbaeuropean.com/

As you might imagine these costs add up quite considerably (c.£2,400), so I am looking for your kind support. I pledge to also donate a percentage of proceeds* to Marie Curie - the U.K.'s leading End of Life Charity, a cause dear to me.

I am extremely proud to be representing Team GB but beyond the personal accomplishment, I think it sends an important message to people (of a certain age!) to continue to aspire and perform at the highest level possible in sport.

Thank you!

Tom
