Just a quick line to say ‘HAPPY BIRTHDAY’ to Nikki, who has just turned 22.

But also to say ‘GOOD LUCK’ for today. After many years of hard work, injuries, and disappointments, her persistence and belief in herself finally comes to fruition when she represents Great Britain in the Bobsleigh Europa Cup in Igls Austria. It has been a long road for her, but she fulfills one of her life ambitions today… and it is an achievement she will always have, she represented her country. Obviously we hope it is the first of many times she competes for GB, but Tricia and I know what effort it has taken for her to get this far…. and we are very, very proud of her.
