Taylor's road to the 2022 Commonwealth Games

Hi there,

As you may or may not be aware, on my return from the Tokyo Olympics I recently listed my Olympic games merchandise, phone and headphones on eBay to raise funds towards my preparations for the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.

As a result of that post I have received an overwhelming number of messages of support from so many kind and lovely people wanting to help me on my journey. I have set this page up for those who would like to help support me.

For those that do not know me here is a little background;

I am a 25 year old Olympic hammer thrower from Berkshire now based up in Loughborough where I train at the national performance centre. This past 18months has been like no other but I am proud to have kept my head down and stayed safe during all the madness and to have been able to improve my personal best by 3.5m to 78.23m and subsequently earning me a spot on Team GB Olympic team to Tokyo. During this my new PB has moved me from 12th in UK all time rankings to 2nd and is currently the furthest throw in both the UK and Commonwealth Games rankings this year.

Its been an incredible year for me. One that I could not have scripted and one that I am truly proud of. After a disappointing performance at my first Olympic games and having my first taste of competition at such a high level, I returned to the UK determined that this is just the start of what I hope to be a long successful career in the sport.

What funding my journey will help:

• Cost of living (e.g. Rent / Housing expenses)
• Travel to Competitions and Training camps (e.g. Flights / PCR Testing)
• Car expenses (e.g. Maintenance / insurance / Petrol)
• Nutrition (e.g. Healthy food and supplements)
• Specialist training & competition equipment (e.g.Hammers, wires, handles & Gloves)
• Coaching Expenses

Thank you taking the time to check out my page and a massive thank you for any donations made!
