Please sign petition on behalf of Renee and Anselm for Beijing
The British are paying for three masters athletes to compete at the IAAF Beijing exhibitions next month — joining several other countries but not the richest in the world. Bridget Cushen, BMAF secretary, writes: “I am very pleased to inform you that UK Athletics are funding the travel cost to the IAAF World Track & Field Championships in Beijing of our three WMA selected Masters athletes, Sally Read-Cayton, World and European 400m Hurdler Virginia Mitchell and David Heath. Official British apparel is also included. British Masters Athletic Federation is most grateful to UKA with whom we enjoy good working relations, and to WMA for funding the hotel cost.” So I’m reminding you again to sign our petition calling on USATF to pay for air fare for Anselm LeBourne and Renee Shepherd. Let’s get to 100 signatures by July 29 — a month out from the 800/400 races in China.
