Story

Thanks for visiting my page.  I've always loved sport, both participating and watching it, and hate the idea that sports talent is lost or wasted, especially when simply down to a lack of available resources, this is where SportsAid can help.

SportsAid is the only national charity of its kind, helping young British sportsmen and women aspiring to be the country's next Olympic champions. Established in 1976, SportsAid focus purely on the next generation of young talented athletes, with the likes of Mo Farah and Paula Radcliffe amongst the beneficiaries. 

I now plan to drag myself round the streets of London to raise money for this charity, demonstrating to everyone that I’m neither an elite or young talent....but with your support, my mediocrity will help those that are!

Thank you


“I remember my first time ever getting support from SportsAid, how big it was and how far it went. We have to recognise the hard work SportsAid does. They are very good at support and finding the next generation of athletes, like myself in the past.” 
Sir Mo Farah, four-time Olympic Champion
