Let's Talk Turkey

Remember this?

Happy November! Yesterday I turned 27; but today it is back to reality and back to business...Christmas may be just around the corner, but that's not the turkey we're talking.

Time is flying; camps 1-3 are already ticked off. Bath, Sigulda and Lillehammer - with varying degrees of success... I am off to Winterberg in Germany in a few weeks and then onto Lake Placid in the USA in December! 

Back in August I wrote the blog 'Winter is Coming, join my team' and I hinted that Crowdfunding would be something I'd be considering as an option to raise some sponsorship. I have since made a crowdfunding page with PledgeSports. Encouraged by the success of Lucy Hatton (British hurdler) and the professionalism and helpfulness of the team at Pledge I have embraced the idea of asking (strangers!?) for help!

My Pledge sports campaign page - coming very soon!

The support (if I reach my target of £2000) will help me to support myself as a full-time athlete; pay my basic living costs. It isn't glamorous by any stretch of the imagination but without it I will struggle to meet the demands of this sport in which I so want to make the most of. It is all for the Olympic dream. British skeleton athletes have proved countless times that they are world leaders; I hope that with hard work and dedication I can achieve what my predecessors have achieved - success on the world stage for GB.

But how does Crowdfunding work? Tomorrow my campaign page will go 'live' on www.pledgesports.org and I will (shamelessly) share it over all my social media platforms - brace yourselves. Click on the link and read a little more about what I am trying to achieve and the journey I am on. If you are interested and want to be a part of that journey you can donate (a bit like PayPal) on the website. There are rewards for doing so; I am keen to give something back and express gratitude to anyone able to donate :) 

IF you are interested but unable to donate please share the link, tell people, RT, screenshot whatever you can to spread the word. That would be fantastic and costs nothing! 

Either way, look out for the link tomorrow and have a gander and most of all SHARE :)

Thank you x
