Please get behind Stone’s London 2012 hopeful Lizzie Neave by posting your good luck message here.
Lizzie – who goes for gold next week in the women’s kayak single – is a member of Stafford and Stone Canoe Club, where her dad Andy coached her from a young age. A brilliant ‘good luck’ sign can be seen at the clubhouse in Stone next to the River Trent in Westbridge Park and you can send her your own good luck message here.
When she made the Team GB team earlier this year, Lizzie was grateful for the support from her home town. She said: “It’s been fantastic to hear about all the support and good wishes from people in Stone. It’s where I first started the sport and a lot of my family and friends are in the town. My dad is just ecstatic. He still coaches at the club in Stone and he’s so happy that a member will be at the Olympics this year. The fact I’m his daughter just makes it much more special.”
The qualification round in the women’s kayak single is on Monday 30th July, starting at 2.20pm, with the semi-final and final on Thursday 2nd August – 2.10pm and 4pm respectively.
Please post your good luck message to Lizzie below by typing it in the ‘Add new comment’ box below.

Good luck Lizzie. As a coach that first put Helen Barns in a slalom boat at Matlock CC, I know how proud your father must feel. Your club has a great pedigree. I remember following Richard Fox & his successes. Just do the best you can and ENJOY and INSPIRE!

Good Luck Lizzie!!! Saw you on the tv last night at opening ceremony! Jess and Johnathon are members of SSCC and can’t stop talking about you! They really look up to you and will be watching and cheering, and probably screaming at the tv for you on Monday and Thursday. We all had a great time on Sunday at the mini olympics and missed you not being there! We look forward to seeing you back there very soon, hopefully carrying an extra bit of bling around your neck!!!!!! Go for it Lizzie, we know you can do it!!!!!!! xxxxx
