What do you think about this petition?

Libby Totton Reporter from Cambridge Edition

Two top young mountain bikers have set off on a 760km ride to Wellington to present a petition asking MPs to treat home schooled athletes the same as any other school student.

George Fisher, 12, Amelia Twiss, 13, their parents and supporters feel they are being discriminated against by School Sport New Zealand (SSNZ) because it does not recognise home schooled athletes in top national competitions.
