A young Isle of Wight boy is set to kickstart his promising career in athletics thanks to the generosity and support of others.
Jake Burton, nine, of Sporting Opportunities Isle of Wight, was loaned a frame runner by Cambridge and Coleridge Athletics Club's Neil Costello and received a donation toward his new venture from Ventnor Rotary Club.
These gestures, which will have a lasting impact on his sporting journey, have provided him with equipment and support as he ventures into frame running.
The community's backing has fuelled his ambition, and he is already enthusiastically looking towards competing in Warwick later this year.
It is hoped he will flourish, with continued encouragement and support, both in his athletic development and in personal confidence.
