Such a down to earth and funny guy. Despite working fulltime (in a brewery!) and his own family commitments (his wife Teresa is a gem!), he dedicates so much of is time to his athletes. He constantly strives to improve, always putting the interests of the athletes’ first, without an ego in sight. |

| Ron Pickering Memorial Fund
A charity run by the late Ron’s wife, Jean, that works incredibly hard to raise money and distribute it to young, up and coming athletes. I benefited from the fund’s generosity for a number of years as a junior, using the money to fund my annual warm weather training trip.

| "Cocovida, a company based out in the Philippines that has won awards for the quality of their products, were kind enough to send me out a shipment of jars of coconut oil recently which I use for both massage and cooking. Not only is coconut oil absolutely delicious, it is actually really good for you with immunity and metabolism boosting properties. They also do a range of natural beauty products and have recently introduced coconut sugar and flour into their range – perfect for making healthy post-training snacks. If you would like to try them for yourself you can visit their websites by clicking on the links". |
