I would like to say a huge thank you to the Joe Humphries Memorial Trust for awarding me funds towards my cycling. I am so grateful for this support.

This is my first season of racing in the UK and the funding will be a great help towards race entry fees and travel to events. I have plenty to learn about the style of racing in the UK and I am hoping to take part in enough road races to be able to improve my skills, tactics and, hopefully, results. I am in the junior category but will mostly be racing in senior events in the East Midlands. By the end of the season I hope that I will have had enough success to ride in regional and national events as an U23 rider.
