Being apart of the Personal Best community I know the types students involved in our schools and how much they make a difference in so many lives daily. My peers, I trained with were some of the best in school and outside of school. Being selected was an honor as I knew that it was a very tough competition with all of my fantastic peers.

Thank you to everyone at Personal Best and the Charity for everything that they do!”
