Have any parents on a modest income tried to provide everything needed for an aspiring GB #athlete?
Well this exactly the position I find myself in except I have two kids to provide for.
Both recently travelled with their mum to Setubal in Portugal to compete in the European #Biathle championships for GB
The frustrating thing is that Biathle (run then swim then run with transition) isn't a UK funded sport so all the cost have to met by mum and dad. This includes travel, GB kits, and accommodation for 3 days.
Gladly the financial sacrifice has been worth every penny as both boys did extremely well. Both boys won their heats and made the finals. My older lad came a very respectable 8 position whereas my younger boy won an individual silver medal and the team gold medal...... well done boys! from one very proud dad xx
