Thanks for taking the time to visit the Comet and SportsAid JustGiving page. Comet’s official charity, SportsAid, helps young sportsmen and women to achieve their ambitions by giving them a vital boost during the defining early years of their careers. <span style="font-size: 11pt; color: #1f497d; font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-themecolor: text2;">The people they help come from all over the UK. They are typically aged 12 to 18, train for 15 hours a week on top of their school work, travel 650 miles a month, and spend more than £5,500 a year on their sport — money that mum and dad have to find. <span style="font-size: 11pt; color: #1f497d; font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-themecolor: text2;">With Comet’s help, these athletes — who are among the best in the country for their age — will be able to train harder, compete better, and hopefully go on to represent Great Britain at a future Olympic or Paralympic Games.
