He has won quite a number of medals, certificates and cups for athletics at Masters Athletic Tournaments and got selected to go abroad to join World Athletic meets in many foreign countries, but he is unable to go to any foreign country due to the unavailability of a sponsor I therefore make an appeal to ‘Daily News’ readers to help me find a sponsor who can help me to go abroad to take part in the next Masters World Athletic Championship because I’m quite sure that I will be able to win a medal and bring hobour and fame my mother land.
