DEAR friends, neighbours, teachers, coaches, supporters and Tavistock.
Arriving in the Olympic village to find approximately a hundred envelopes addressed to me with 99% of them with a West Devon post mark has to be on of my most heartening experiences.
To have a whole town behind you like that gives you such an uplifting feeling. Thank you Tavistock!
You have been with me from the start, from galloping recklessly across Whitchurch Down through to the Sydney and Athens Olympics. What a journey.
Thank you for playing such a huge part.
Lots of love
Kate Allenby
