Ethan Newnham is a worthy recipient of a Rotary Global Grant Scholarship funded by the Rotary Foundation. He has completed his Masters degree at Oxford and is now working towards his PhD. PDG Bob Laslett arranged the funding and hosting by local Rotarians. As his mentor, Bob has kept in constant touch with Ethann during his time overseas. Here is his latest message:
That's fantastic news that the final report for the Global Grant has been submitted.
It's been brilliant over here at Oxford. I had my first big result a few weeks ago, so now I'm hunkering down doing all of my controls to convince even the most sceptical reviewer! I've been off crutches for a while now, thank goodness, although not quite well enough to go to trampolining. The summer is indeed on its way and I'll be heading out with some friends for our first river swim of the season later this week :)
Please pass on my thanks to everyone at the Rotary Club. There's never a day I don't feel grateful for the support of Rotary. I went to see some of this years' scholars speak a few weeks ago which was lots of fun. Rotarians Richard, Julian and his wife Sue continue to be beautiful people looking after me, even though they are officially off the hook!
