I would like to thank you for the money that the John Taylor Foundation has provided me with, it is very nice to receive support. It has been a busy year as I have concentrated my efforts on preparing for my second year in Triathlon. This year I have raced in the South West TRISTAR3 series which is longer distances compared to the races I did last year in TRISTAR2. The season has gone very well and I am currently 4th in the South West and I have been selected to be part of the South West Team to compete in the National Championships in Strathclyde in September.

The money you have provided has allowed me to attend a number of training sessions and will also help me prepare for the nationals by attending the South West residential camp. I feel my confidence and determination has grown to succeed has grown whilst allowing me to have great fun with the other children in the race series. Without your support I would not have been able to undertake all these training sessions and would not have achieved what I have and for this I am most grateful.

I will update you at the end of the season to tell you how I got on at Strathclyde. My focus will then change to the swimming competition season for the winter and my training for relay swimming the English channel with 4 of my swim team mates next year.

Once again thank you for the support this year.
