Hi,

I write to give thanks for my grant of £40 towards the Junior European Orienteering Cup in Austria which took place in September. The competition gave me good experience competing at an international level, and motivated my training for the winter. It also gave me a big confidence boost in knowing that I have improved hugely over the past year, mainly in my running ability. The support of the John Taylor Foundation has helped me compete at this championships and thus work towards my goal – the Junior World Championships next July in Hungary.

You can find the results from the championships at this link: http://www.stolv.at/jec-2017

Kind regards

Matthew Fellbaum
