Hannah said: “I always thank my sponsors after every race but I can’t thank Caravan Guard enough for being with me from the start of my racing career and for continuing to support me so I can achieve my dreams.”

“I’m thrilled they’ve pledged to sponsor me through to the Tokyo games – it’s so important to all athletes at all levels to receive the extra financial support.”

The sponsorship money helps Hannah to pay for her racing wheelchair, as well as replacement wheels, tyres, gloves, speedometers, physio and travel expenses to competitions.
