Disney Aim High 2014 campaign has launched and has
Olympic golden couple Laura Trott and Jason Kenny on board.
The BAFTA nominated Disney Aim High is a mentorship initiative that inspires children aged 7-14 around the UK to define goals, reach for their dreams, strive for success
and have fun. Now in its third year, the scheme has connected children with
influential names from the world of sport, music and film including
Alex Oxlaide-Chamberlain, Aaron Ramsey, Toby Flood, Tinchy Stryder and Stuart Broad.
Kicking off the 2014 programme will be Olympic gold medal cyclists,
Laura Trott and
Jason Kenny, who will mentor keen cyclists from across the country.
The masterclass will be filmed and will air on both Disney Channel and Disney XD
later in the year.
Laura Trott says:
“My hero and mentor was, and still is Sir Bradley Wiggins.
I met him at a cycling show when I was young and he's been there for me ever since.
He has helped me so much over the years and it’s so beneficial to have someone so
close who you can approach, ask questions and provide guidance.
Meeting him at such a young age definitely inspired me to go out there and get on
the bike, and now it’s our turn to inspire the next generation of cyclists.”
Kenny, whose mentor is another Olympic medal winner – Jason Queally, said:
"He'd been there and seen it. He'd actually lived my dream, so he could answer my
questions and give me the advice I needed to get to get where I wanted to be,quickly."
