Fencing is an intense sport, both physically and mentally. Knowing that my kit is in good working order allows me to concentrate on my game. In my last season as a cadet fencer I finished the season ranked 2nd in Great Britain. I was recently selected to fence for Team England at the Youth Five Nations event in Dublin where we took the gold medal. Without the financial assistance I receive I would not have been able to achieve this.
