My name is Αννα Ντέντα (Anna Deda) and I'm an athlete of the Boccia Greek national Paralympic team.
As you might have known on 26 to July , in Portugal, will be held a very important competition, the Boccia Open World Championship. It is very important because by participating in this championship I have the opportunity to secure some points that are needed for my qualification for Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.

Unfortunately though, the responsible state organization for the Paralympic Greek National Boccia team informed us that it won't support any of the team financially to participate in Boccia Open World Championship. Moreover, they told us that whoever wants to participate in this Championship, they will have to pay on their own.
The amount of money that I need for me and my assistant (my mother) is 5,000 euro, that is, about 1200 Steem Dollars (today's price).
The expenses for 10 days in details are:
500+500 Entry fees - meaning 1000 euro.
1000-1200 Airplane tickets + 800 sport equipment = 2000 transportation.
2000 Accommodation in the Hotel plus the meals chosen by the Sport Event Organization.
That's the reason I decided to start a weekly series of posts to collect the amount of money needed for my participation in this important competition.


The deadline for entering this championship is until June 10st.
In case the amount of money needed is not collected until the deadline, then the money from your votes until then will be given as a donation to the Athletic Association for People with Disabilities "Saint Christopher".
Athletic Association for People with Disabilities "Saint Christopher" details are:
Οδός : Γ. Παπαθανασίου 190 02 Παιανια.

This is my sixth post dedicated to my cause. Once again I am very happy that my previous post went very well, thanks to all of you who voted for me. As in all my posts, Allow me to thank some special people who would not have been able to realize my great dream without their help. these people are: My generous @onceuponatime , my gentle @kpine , my dear @liondani , and my sweetest @mariandavp.

I am very excited because 5 days ago we have known in which group we will play in the championship. In the first round Greece will play against Spain Azerbaijan and also England. The fact that we now know in what group we will play, we must also train with this in mind. So every three days together we see videos that allow us to study our opponent. Honestly I do not know if it's better to know who to play with or not. When you know with whom you play, there is always that anxiety that haunts you. However, on the other hand, when you do not know with whom you play, then you cannot even prepare and both are difficult. Whatever it is, If you do your best, you'll be rewarded one day.

Another thing that makes me very happy is that with the money I received from my fourth post, I bought a new head-pointer (the hat I put on to push the balls) that I need to play, Because the hat I had I sent it for service and so I needed a another one to continue with my training. This too I consider it as a gift from all my friends of Steemit and for this I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I also promise you that I will always do my best. with your indispensable help, I am sure that I will make it to the next Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

I would like to write down all your names that supported me but that was mostly impossible. So I will apologize if some of the names are not in this list. But you must know that I appreciate very much your support equally and I am so much grateful to all of you.


Thank you everyone for reading!


And remember to always see the positive side of life.
