The up and coming Taekwon Do star sponsored by Demolition News has won gold.
Regular readers of Demolition News will recall that a few months ago we made an appeal to help sponsor Leanne Evans, a rising Taekwon Do star and a possible contender for the London 2012 Olympics.
Well, the response was overwhelming with the likes of AR Demolition, C&D Consultancy, Demolition News and Erith Group backing Leanne in her bid for glory in the European Championships that has been taking place in Croatia this week.
And we’re delighted they did. We have just received a phone call live from the stadium to say that Leanne has secured gold in the three categories in which she competes; and, better still, that she has been crowned European Champion.
Below is an extract from Leanne’s letter of thanks received just before she headed for Croatia:
I would like to take this opportunity to formally thank you all for your generous donations. The chance to compete at the European Championships is only something which I could have once only dreamed of.
I had never expected that competing at an international level would open so many doors for me; I am now increasing my levels of training in preparation for the competition which has allowed me to improve enormously. I have done various martial-arts since the age of four and have a real love and passion for the sport. I have always competed in national competitions, but thanks to your contributions I feel that I can really reach my full potential by competing abroad.
