He also gained wild card entries into professional races in Hoboken, Antwerp and Geel, where he played prominent parts in the racing – earning him a place on brand new semi-pro team 'Viasport' for 2012.
Describing himself as "an all-rounder with a fast finish", he came late to cycling for a would-be professional, after timing himself cycling to college aged 17.
Cunningham – a garden landscaper during the off-season - is hoping to raise funds so he can continue to progress as a rider and make a name for himself.
The 21-year-old's package includes training membership at K2, run by GLL, worth £500.
"This year has been a success and progression for me. I am stronger, have gained good results and played an active part in racing. I have had injuries, illnesses and crashes, but have done enough to progress to a higher level in 2012.
"I am extremely grateful for the help from the GLL Sport Foundation. It lifts a lot of weight off people's shoulders. Without gestures like this the dreams of many people like me would be broken."
