Fun Fencing Event a Fundraiser for Charity in Kenya

Bognor Regis, West Sussex, UK - Inspired by the work of the Kitendo Children’s Charity in Kenya, Tom Rusbridge of Chichester Fencing Club organized a fantastic day’s fencing to raise funds for the KCC slum project.  The day began with men’s and women’s events being intensely fought. After the main event came a highly-unusual cross-dressing plate competition. A huge number of fencers competed in this event solely to raise funds and have fun. Women fenced in moustaches and padded beer bellies and men donned the traditional women’s chest protectors and wigs.  It was a fantastic day of sport and raised more than £700 for the KCC Slum Project. The money will go to schooling, feeding and clothing young people who have little to call their own.  www.fundraising-ideas.org
