‘Getting support from the Ron Pickering Memorial fund as a youngster gave me the belief that I could go out and achieve my best. It was such an uplifting feeling to know that someone out there, who I hadn’t yet met, was willing to help me on my journey. They had that small belief that I could go out there and do something’
Christine Ohuruogu
‘The RPMF was the first organisation to identify and support the talent and love I had for athletics. The support I received made me feel like somebody believed in me and was a huge help at the time. I was so proud recently to pay that money back to the fund to help support the next generation of athletes. If I am half the woman Jean is by her age then I will be pleased! Thank you so, so much for all you have done for so many of us.’
