Only 5 days away from leaving, I’m definitely a bit nervous already – there will be something like 400 bench athletes from across the world.

I am so happy with how our fund raising is going, I have been able to pay for the trip and now put money aside for the next one. Looking forward to smashing it over there – wish me luck!!!

This will be a good test run before the Commonwealth games in July/August.

If you would like to watch me bench in Dubai here is the link
