Story

 

I want you to take a moment and image a loved one has been diagnosed with a life threatening illness. They could be saved, if a donor can be found. Wouldn’t you want the donor registers to have the largest number of potential matches for your loved one.

Added on 23/NOV/2011 - I didn't get far back in 2009 being beat in my first match - click here to see the vid, But I am entering the English BJJ open 2011 on the 27/NOV/2011. Two years on and I'm still at it ;)

This is what The Anthony Nolan Trust does. It raises awareness and encourages us to join just such a register.

 

 I filled out an application and figured the more people should know about this, and here is my plan.

 

Saturday (28/02/2008) & Sunday (01/03/2008) I shall be competing in the under 70kg white belt division at The Bristol Open. If you're wondering, BJJ stands for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

 

I want you to help me raise awareness & sponsor me. You can sponsor me on the number of matches I have (say £2 per match), or the number I win (say £5 per win), or motivate me further by pledging different amounts for taking bronze (£10), silver (£20) or gold (£30). Or just a fixed amount just for taking part. Every little helps.

 

In the last tournament I entered I didn’t win a medal and only had 4 matches (won 2), so it shouldn't cost you too much

 

I know times are hard financially, but it’s a great cause. Donate £1 for now, and write your pledge in the notes section. I’ll update this page and my blog (vids will be available) on Monday (02/03/2009) with my results.

 

I’ll also be entering the open division for white belts, which means I’ll be up against some really big guys (possible 100kg +).  If I’m gonna get crushed, I may as well raise some funds for a great charity.

 

Please visit The Anthoy Nolan Trust and see the great work they’re doing

 

Also visit badshah.net to be updated on how I’m doing.
