An up-and-coming hammer thrower, of Cullingworth, has received £1,500 sponsorship from a Wilkinson store in Bradford.
Jessica Mayho, who is preparing for the British University Championships and the AAA National Championships this year, received the cash as part of the Rawson Quarter store’s Local Star initiative.
The 20-year-old will use the money to cover coaching costs, travel expenses and physiotherapy.
Jessica said: “I’m incredibly grateful for the sponsorship from Wilko and every penny will make a difference.
