How sponsors can help Katrina Cosby, our fastest 400m hurdler in the Under 20s group, over the funding barrier

This year Katrina Cosby was the UK's fastest 400m hurdler in the Under 20 age group (see www.thepowerof10.info).

Despite this, she will not receive any funding from official agencies next year. At a time of austerity this is understood and the family is doing all it can to support Katrina.

What the family cannot do is help her to train and compete with the best, as the best is to be found abroad. Katrina is prepared to endorse products and make personal appearances.

She has modelled and this year appeared on the Nike website (screenshot can be supplied if required), modelling footwear.

"Katrina currently trains six days a week and is able to earn some 'pocket' money through coaching youngsters at her own club, Blackheath and Bromley Harriers. However, this and the support of her family will not meet the costs of warm weather training and international competition in 2011/12 which I estimate will cost £10,000.

"Will YOU become a sponsor and help Katrina make it for Britain? Thank you for giving this your consideration".
