The Niall Smyth bursary was the very first bursary I received to assist my athletic career. I first received it when I was fourteen years old and it really helped my athletic career. I could use the funding to purchase all the items I needed to better myself as an athlete such as paying for flights to go and compete abroad and equipment such as running spikes. It has played a significant role in my athletic career this far and I hope it can have the same effect on other up and coming athletes.
