On Sunday 23rd June 2013, 12 year old Kobe Barber and a selection of his friends will be taking part in a sponsored “FIGHT GONE BAD” at CrossFit East Kilbride, with the help of CrossFit Glasgow, to raise funds for “Kobe’s American Dream” and “NCDS”.
“Kobe’s American Dream” is a fund that was set up to assist financially with Kobe’s selection for Team GB and their attendance at the AAU & FIRS World Inline Puck Hockey Championships being held in California this July.
“NCDS” is the National Deaf Children’s Society. A charity set up to remove the barriers to the achievement of deaf children throughout the worldand is a charity dear to Kobe’s heart as following an ear disease; he has been left partially deaf. Kobe is proud of his sporting achievements despite his set back, and has pledged to donate 50% of all money raised to the charity. In his words “I am lucky enough to be achieving good things in sport, maybe the money can go to help someone else do the same”
Sponsor Sheets will be available at CFEK and we will be taking donations at the Team Linda event at CFG, but you can still donate via your PayPal account using the email address kad.ncds@gmail.com: just go to https://www.paypal.com/uk/webapps/mpp/send-money-online

On behalf of Kobe and the NCDS thank you so much for your support.
On behalf of everyone at CFG we wish Kobe and his friends all the best for their WOD.
