CAN YOU HELP?

Andrew Palmer (seen here on the left) is an amputee runner from Cardiff.

On November 14th, he hopes to take part in the Ossur National Leg Amputee Championships, a half marathon in San Diego, California.

The current record holder for the course is the American Paralympian Paul Martin, with a time of 1:29:52.

Andrew's personal best over the distance is 1:30:40, but he's been training hard and is hopeful of beating Paul Martin's record.

But he receives no funding to compete, and needs around £1,000 to take part in the San Diego race.

He's looking to find a sponsor or sponsors to help him meet the cost of the trip -- which could put him on the international racing map.

If you think you can help, or want to know more, drop me an e-mail and I'll put you in touch with Andrew.
