Disabled powerlifting

I am looking for sponsorship to help me fund my dream of becoming a professional power lifter. I recently won a Silver this year and I am currently entering disabled powerlifting events and competitions in the UK to gain experience and recognition in the disabled power lifting world. My biggest goal is to compete in the 2016 Rio Paralympics but to be eligible for this I have to train hard and be able to push more weight. There is an upcoming competition in Hungry next year. If I could gain the funds to go this would be an amazing opportunity and I would be classified, which a requirement for big games like the Paralympics. My current regime down Gold’s gym Bedford see’s me there at least 5 days a week. With help and support I am currently arranging a disabled powerlifting bench to be based at Gold’s for me so that I can train properly with my legs up, as is the technique used in the disabled version of powerlifting. This technique is harder to master as it is based mostly on core strength which is what I need to work on due to the nature of my spinal injury. I need ongoing financial support for things to enable me to train effectively like supplements and specialist clothing like wrist supports and base lifting suits. I need money for travelling to and from events and accommodation etc. Looking to the future 2018 is also a big date for me as that is the commonwealth games and following that is the big 2020 Paralympics. Please help me reach these goals. Every little helps.
