With ParalympicsGB – I just made it onto their weekly engagement list by being one of their top engagers! 🎉

NEW DESIGN : Paris 2024🇬🇧 to support our GB parafencers who’ve qualified for this year’s Paralympic Games in Paris🎉🤺🇫🇷🇬🇧.

All will be wrapped & posted out the week starting 19th August

Thanks to the team for their input into the design , I’m sure all their family & friends , supporters and fellow fencers will be wishing them all the best , wearing one of these cool Tshirts or sweatshirts , and following their progress the 1st week in September.

Printed onto choice of NAVY, BLACK , PURPLE or WHITE
From Kids Small age 5….
To Adult 5XL

I’ve been recovering from my surgery , and have only made it to a handful of events this year - so thanks for all your continued support , I hope to see you all again v soon .

As some of you know - I’ve been a bit unwell for a year or so, having pain when eating, and have been visiting less and less fencing competitions as this year has gone on .
Unfortunately I’ve been told a couple of weeks ago I have cancer 🥲.
I have a cancerous cyst on my right kidney the size of my fist - so they are taking it, and my whole kidney out in one go .
Today .

I’m writing this in Southmead hospital surgical waiting room in Bristol, as my surgery is today 😮 - so hopefully I can post an update when I come round . It’s all been a bit overwhelming and everything has all gone so fast , I was only told 4 days ago that my operation was today. And I’ve only told a handful of people so far, as each person I told, I got more upset.

I don’t think it’s all sunk in yet really .

Unfortunately they don’t think it’s even what is causing my digestive issues & pain !? but I will find out once they remove it - they are hoping it will ease my symptoms somewhat.
Otherwise it’s more Gastroenterology appts .

I’m gonna be in hospital @3-5 days , then with Dad at my house the week after - as I have to have someone with me for the 1st week , and Dads then staying over Xmas as I won’t be able to lift stuff for @6 weeks .

Hope to see you all soon ,
Michelle ( fencingstuff ) xx

I’m a Star Wars / Mandalorian fan as many of you will know - and in a moment of clarity I thought of the phrase: FENCING IS THE WAY .

Because - Fencing IS the way !!!

So I suddenly had this image pop into my head, set up a photoshoot to create what I’d imagined, and after much editing this BRAND NEW T-shirt design is now complete - and available to order here 👇
https://www.fencingstuff.org.uk/shop/FENCING-IS-THE-WAY-p128352254

I will be printing the design next week with two options available:

1 : with the image on the front and FENCING IS THE WAY across the back, &
2 : the image on the BACK with a smaller FENCING IS THE WAY on the front pocket

🎨🤺 IF you like this design, please help spread the word by tagging a fencing friend below 👇
Thanks,
Michelle
