Adopt an athlete - not just for Christmas |
Christmas shoppers have a unique opportunity to adopt athletes this Christmas. Not only will this answer all those difficult dilemmas of what to buy that awkward relative but it will also help fund the work of the British Athlete’s Commission (BAC) in directly supporting the athletes.
If you purchase this gift for a loved one, they will receive a thank you email plus a certificate signed personally by an athlete, as well as updates throughout the following year on the athletes’ progress.
The British Athlete’s Commission works to make sure that the athletes’ voices are heard and offers a pathway to pursue and resolve issues they face. By adopting the athletes shoppers will be supporting them in the run-up to 2012, with less than 1,000 days to go!
Zac Purchase, Rowing Olympic Gold Medallist at Beijing, says: “We are all very proud to be able to represent our country in our disciplines but when faced with injury or legal issues we have very little support. The BAC offers us a safety net and we incredibly grateful to all those that support us, especially with 2012 on the horizon.”
Adopting an athlete will cost just £12 a year and is available for purchase via www.britishathletes.org where you click to Pledge Your Support!
