Six young Relentless Martial Arts athletes headed for world championships
Relentless Martial Arts have organised a fundraiser on GoFundMe for six of their junior members, who have been selected for Team Ireland at the IMMAF World Championships in Abu Dhabi.
There, they write:
“We are so happy to announce that six juniors from Relentless Martial Arts have been selected to represent their country on Team Ireland at the IMMAF World Championships in Abu Dhabi this August.
“Unfortunately, MMA is not funded by Sport Ireland and we will receive zero funding in our quest to secure gold medals for Ireland.
“We need your help to get these six juniors – Ali Syron, Olivia Babiarz, Tyler Byrne, Cadhlá Gilhooley, Molly Syron and Emily Hannick – to the worlds.
“The trip will cost €12,000 and all funds raised will go directly towards paying for their trip and registration in the world championships.
“In return for your generosity, we will be holding a draw for all donations over €5, with lots of prizes on offer for the lucky ones randomly selected.
“Those who are extremely generous and donate over €25 will be put into a draw for the three top prizes, worth up to €1000.
“Stay tuned for the prizes to be announced shortly!
“Please be sure to write your name on the donation so we can put you in the draw.
“Thank you in advance for your generosity. These kids work so hard training, up to 14 hours a week, and they really deserve this opportunity.
“With your help, they will hopefully achieve a world championship medal for their country, for Relentless but most importantly for themselves.”
