Howard and Varun Appear on 3 Counties Radio
Wheelchair Racing Manager, Howard Darbon, and the club's leading wheelchair racer, Varun Bandi, appeared on BBC 3 Counties Radio on Sunday 9th October. Varun and Howard were interviewed presenter, Farzana Chaudry, and covered topics including Varun's successes, how he got into wheelchair racing and his aspirations, while Howard talked about the sport, the costs of it and how people could get in touch.
On a separate note, Jade Olulode, an under 18 athlete, applied for a grant from the Burns Price Foundation for new racing wheelchairs. We are delighted that her application was successful and a grant of £5000 was offered on the basis that she raises £1000 from her own fund raising efforts. She opened a Just Giving page recently and within 24 hours had raised £970!!
