I am the mother of Giulia, a 13 year old girl who is passionate about tennis - she started playing at 4 and has won over 80 tournaments, including national titles in the 12&U and 14&U categories, currently ranked top 20 in the 14U GB girls leaderboard.
As a proud parent of a hard working athlete sponsored by SportsAid, I really appreciate the support this charity offers to talented junior athletes aspiring to be Britain's next generation of Olympic, Paralympic, and world champions. They say that on average a young athlete can cover 40 miles in training each week...I want to take up this challenge and do the same during SportsAid week - squeezing in my usual working routine runs covering a total of 30 miles and gym classes covering the remaining 10 miles between Sept 21 and Sept 28th...and hope to still be able to walk after that :)
Please support MyMilesChallenge and help SportsAid make a real difference for many young athletes!
Thank you very much for your generosity.
SportsAid works with over 60 national sport governing bodies to provide financial support to >1000 talented young athletes at a vital time in their career. Athletes are aged between 12 and 18, located all over the UK, spread across more than 60 sports.The charity alumni have gone on to win over 150 Olympic and Paralympic medals and include Sir Mo Farah, Sir Chris Hoy, Dame Sarah Storey, David Weir CBE and Sir Steve Redgrave.
