The funding has been invaluable in covering event entry fees and travel costs. Thanks to your support, I was able to compete in the 29er British GP Series, where I finished 2nd overall. I also used the grant to travel to Lake Garda for the 29er European Championships \u2014 our first ever European event in the 29er class \u2014 where we placed 26th out of 251 boats and were the top British boat.<\/p>\n
