“I was lucky enough to be one of the very first recipients of a Sports Aid grant many years ago. It came at the end of my career, but it was a valuable aid to my parents who were struggling with all the costs associated with top class training. Our young and talented athletes of tomorrow can get important help in those early days, on their way, hopefully, to great things for their country. ”
