Hi, I am Harry Ware, an 800m Athlete living in Yateley, Hampshire and am trying to find some support with my costs for 2025. I currently train with top UK Athletic Coach of the Year, Dave Ragan, at Basingstoke Athletics Club. I am working incredibly hard to compete for Team GB in the Under 23’s World Championship in Norway 2025. I am currently just 1 second away from the qualification time I need to achieve, and I have some expensive trips that are crucial for reaching my goal. These trips include attending high-altitude training in South Africa and other warm weather training sessions in southern Europe. These sessions are attended by several Team GB athletes and expert coaches, and are tailored to achieve individual intensive training goals. As a full-time university student, it is challenging for me to work in placements while focusing on my training and covering living expenses. Once I achieve a big championship, I will be in a great position to secure sponsorships to help cover my costs. Currently, I am paying over £300 for each pair of spikes I wear through the summer and over £1000 for trainers. The upcoming trips will cost £3.5k, plus gym and physio expenses, making it difficult for me to achieve my goals this year. If you can help, I promise to share updates and progress, along with a video blog showing highlights of the year. Thank you for reading this far and your support! Please share this with other people in your networks so I can get maximum coverage.
