Once we got those results, I was very happy. It was quite a nice affirmation that, you know, you are good enough. You do know how to play the sport.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tom\u2019s GoFundMe has raised over \u00a32,280 from 60 donations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Roller derby is a roller skating contact sport, where two teams \u2018jam\u2019 and \u2018block\u2019 their opponents to score points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s an absolutely great sport with a really lovely community surrounding it,&#8221; Tom said. &#8220;It&#8217;s just absolutely lovely.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tom started playing roller derby when he was eight years old and his roller derby name is Atomic_Bomb235.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"693\" height=\"924\" src=\"https:\/\/shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/SSJR_Tom.jpg\" alt=\"Tom's headshot for Team GB in 2023\" class=\"wp-image-66082\" style=\"width:293px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/SSJR_Tom.jpg 693w, https:\/\/shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/SSJR_Tom-480x640.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 693px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tom&#8217;s headshot for Team GB in 2023.

He also attends team GB training sessions once a month and plays with teams across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tom played and won two international games against Team Sweden and Team Denmark over Easter weekend this year, and in 2023 he represented Great Britain at the junior world cup in France, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"705\" data-id=\"66086\" src=\"https:\/\/shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/roller-derby-on-film-yaya-1024x705.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-66086\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/roller-derby-on-film-yaya-1024x705.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/roller-derby-on-film-yaya-980x675.jpg 980w, https:\/\/shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/roller-derby-on-film-yaya-480x330.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photographer: Roller Derby On Film<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"616\" height=\"924\" data-id=\"66083\" src=\"https:\/\/shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Life-Thru-Argos-Lens2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-66083\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Life-Thru-Argos-Lens2.jpg 616w, https:\/\/shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Life-Thru-Argos-Lens2-480x720.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 616px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photographer: Life Thru Argo&#8217;s Lens<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"616\" height=\"924\" data-id=\"66084\" src=\"https:\/\/shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Life-Thru-Argos-Lens.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-66084\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Life-Thru-Argos-Lens.jpg 616w, https:\/\/shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Life-Thru-Argos-Lens-480x720.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 616px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photographer: Life Thru Argo&#8217;s Lens<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"695\" data-id=\"66087\" src=\"https:\/\/shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Roller-Derby-On-Film-1024x695.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-66087\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Roller-Derby-On-Film-1024x695.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Roller-Derby-On-Film-980x666.jpg 980w, https:\/\/shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Roller-Derby-On-Film-480x326.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photographer: Roller Derby On Film<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"66085\" src=\"https:\/\/shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/life-thru-argos-lens-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-66085\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/life-thru-argos-lens-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/life-thru-argos-lens-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/life-thru-argos-lens-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photographer: Life Thru Argo&#8217;s Lens<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Tom\u2019s fundraising efforts have received lots of media attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said: \u201cI don&#8217;t think I ever expected to be anywhere near any sort of news site.
