Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On 27th May 2012, I will be running  the Edinburgh Marathon.

I've decided to raise money to help support the local charity Ravelrig RDA.  I've never asked for sponsorship before for any run that I've done and figured that a marathon was a good time.

Ravelrig RDA is a charity providing riding lessons to disabled people.  Horse riding  is a unique form of exercise and rehabilitation. It can be therapeutic and helps to improve co-ordination, balance, muscular development and fitness.  It can help increase self-confidence, communication, concentration and give riders a sense of freedom that they otherwise may not have.

I would hope that if I was to ever be injured, I could seek support in the RDA to help me continue my passion for horses and riding. 

Ravelrig RDA relies completely on donations from businesses, organisations and individuals.  Please help me to support them to continue to provide such an excellent service by donating... even a penny will make a difference.
