Good Morning, Newport. We are abusing our own business social media channel this morning to share some news!
We are incredibly proud to share that our son, Lewis, aged 16, has been selected to represent Great Britain at this summer's European Youth Cup in Slovenia with Archery GB. This will be his first international competition.
Lewis is ranked 2nd in the UK Men’s U18 Recurve Category and on the Archery GB Olympic Pathway for possible selection for the 2028/2032 Olympics.
This is a huge achievement for Lewis, and I am looking to raise Lewis’s profile of his achievements in our town. Lewis has just left Burton Borough School after working hard in all his GCSEs whilst preparing and being selected for international events.
The trip, whilst a major achievement for Lewis, is self-funded. The trip alone costs £1800 before the additional costs of extra kit, travel equipment and preparation. This is in addition to the thousands we pay yearly towards keeping Lewis at the peak of his sport with the academy, coaching, personal training, etc. So we are reaching out to our local town to help support Lewis to make his dream a reality.
We are looking to raise Lewis’s profile within our town whilst also raising funds to help support Lewis on his journey. We have launched a Crowdfunder and any donations will be very gratefully received.
Thank you so much for your support and encouragement. Please also share this post on your own socials to raise awareness. It will mean the world to us.
Thank you
Sam
