SPONSOR HANNAH
As you can imagine, the cost of training an elite gymnast can be significant. If you would like to sponsor Hannah in any way please go to the sponsor page at HannahMartin.info
Right now, Hannah’s family are carrying the cost of her training and travel, but as she develops as a gymnast more intensive ongoing training is required, and British Gymnastics desire to send Hannah as a British representative in international competition more often.
We are looking for support and sponsorship to fund Hannah’s ongoing training, travel, and her dream of competing in the European Championships in 2016, and in the Commonwealth Games in 2018.
