Good Morning,
A couple of weeks ago a good friend of mine (Peter White) set up a Givealittle page for me to help fund my European Campaign, with the aim of getting a good result to qualify me for the World Champs in the Netherlands to be held in September and gaining qualification points to be picked in the Paralympic team for next year.
He put a figure in of $7000 of which we are getting very close to. This would involve the cheapest accommodation, flights in a bare bones kind of way that I am used to (funding the majority of my trips, representing New Zealand). If I want to really, be able to put myself on the start line in the best way possible both physically and mentally, with some massages and proper nutrition, as well as that I am funding a Supporter to help me in Europe, as I get no New Zealand team support. I am going to need 3k more. I am going to do this no matter what. Fingers crossed with the generosity a few more I can put myself in the position of being able to deliver a world-class performance.
Thank you to those that have already contributed and I would be so ever grateful of a little bit more to get to Tokyo.
I am all for living with no regrets but I am not sure that even this old body would be able to do 4 more years to be in world class condition for Paris 2024.
Kind Regards
Fraser Sharp
