Via BBC News:

A coach is raising money for a Para athlete so she can compete abroad.
"England's best female frame runner" Charlie is hoping to make it to the Los Angeles 2028 Paralympic games, although her sport currently isn't included.
Coach Bob Purcell says it is difficult for the 22-year-old, from Gloucestershire, to compete abroad as it is expensive to transport her custom-made frame.
He hopes to raise £2,000 to support Charlie's Olympic bid.
Charlie, who has cerebral palsy, is not funded by Athletics UK, meaning she cannot compete abroad despite being "capable of representing the country at a high level" according to her coach.
