 I'm Will Bailey. I'm a Paralympic Table Tennis player and I've managed to win six Paralympic medals including gold medal and Rio 2016 and I've been to three consecutive finals in Paralympics. The national lottery funding has been massive for me. I was 19 years old in Beijing 2008 and just before I wasn't funded by anyone so I was having to sell fund and I don't come from a massively well off background so we couldn't really afford to send me to tournaments. After Beijing 2008 I got the lottery funding and made a massive difference. I was going to loads of tournaments competing, paid for my training, paid for me to play full time. It gave me the opportunity to be the best version that I could be, the best version of me. It's been massive for me and it's been consistent all through my career so it's made a massive difference. I think me personally just given me the opportunities to play in loads of different continents playing around the world. Learning from different players has paid for me to go on training camps for example, playing against different styles and I think I've learnt a lot from that. Just to have that opportunity has been amazing, really grateful for that. It's been amazing to be here basically full time at Brighton Table Tennis Club for two years and I know the lottery funding has massively helped. It's such an amazing community club here, it's open for everyone. From a lot of sports you have to have money to pay the coaches and here you can come and play for free and I think that's really good, it's special. Well thank you so much for everyone who gets the lottery ticket and you probably don't always see the difference that it makes but it makes a massive difference. All I can say from myself, from my point of view it's made a massive difference to my career and without it I wouldn't have been able to win the medals for Great Britain.
