Katharine's nomination story

The youngest British female to complete the 3000 mile RAAM to raise awareness of Epilepsy & working hard to save the London 1948 Velodrome.My dreams are to help create a double Olympic legacy and continue to work hard to save the last remaining 1948 London Olympic venue - The Herne Hill Velodrome which will be available for use for future generations of aspiring track cyclists and hopefully inspire new people to the take up the sport of cycling.As well as to further raise awareness of the condition of Epilepsy by using my first RAAM experience to become the first ever British female to complete the Race Across America (RAAM) solo. I hope by taking part in the race again as a soloist I can gain much wider coverage and get my message that Epilepsy shouldn't stigmatised out to a wider audience.
