Two young Marlow athletes are flying high after British sporting legend Eddie ‘the Eagle’ Edwards presented each of them with a £750 grant from the Bucks SportsAid Foundation.

Nineteen-year-old athlete Pippa Woolven and Jack Clee, 17, who plays hockey, each received the donation at a special Bucks Sporting Lunch Club event last Friday (June 28) at Dorney Lake.

Edwards, who shot to fame by becoming Britain’s first ever competitive ski jumper when he took part in the Calgary 1988 Winter Olympics, more recently hit the headlines by winning ITV’s Splash celebrity diving competition.
