Help!

Morning all,

I hope you are all well and ready for Christmas?

I posted a while ago about my intention to represent the RAF at the CARHA Ice Hockey World Cup in Canada in April 2016.

On a personal level, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity, the tournament only happens once every four years and currently, I won't be in the RAF to see another tournament (if we were to get invited back!)

As you can imagine, the costs of travelling to Canada for the tournament, including the fees, flights and hotels, it's very expensive. I've got a young daughter, and my wife is currently pregnant, if I'm honest, I'm struggling to afford the trip, but it's too good an opportunity to pass on.

So, I've set up a GoFundMe campaign. I don't expect it to do particularly well, but I thought I'd share it on here and see if you generous folk would like to help? The link is below:

Thanks in advance.

Have a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year.

Cheers,

Chris

282 views and only 3 people have stuck their hands in their pockets, if all the people that have viewed would have given a couple of quid Chris would be on his way.
COME ON!!!!!!!! It's christmas, the time of giving and goodwill.

Happy New Year! I hope 2016 is a wonderful one for you all.

I just wanted to post a quick update... my gofundme.com page has raised £75 so far, I just thought I'd try to drum up a little bit more interest if anyone would be kind enough to help out?

Thank you to everyone that has donated and sent their kind words of support so far.

Cheers, Chris
