"I am truly honoured to be stepping into the role of Trustee for Personal Best Foundation. Having supported the charity as Board Observer for 18 months, it is a privilege to now join a team of dedicated trustees committed to creating meaningful opportunities for the next generation. As a true believer in the transformative power of movement on both physical and mental health, I feel strongly that every child should have the chance to achieve their personal best on the track, and in life. I'm excited to play a part in helping the Foundation continue its vital work and broaden its impact even further. ''
