Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
So I have signed up for something totally crazy considering my level of fitness and capability (but I think you'll agree, for a very worthy cause).
Hannah Francis, a young event rider, bravely fought bone cancer, will creating this amazing charity. Inspired by her determination, we are riding to support the wonderful legacy she has left behind; Hannah’s Willberry Wonder Pony.
We, The Wobbleberries, have pledged to take part in a BE80 in 2017; battling our own inner fears, nerves and doubts to challenge, overcome and, with Hannah as inspiration, do something we never dreamed possible.
I am worried about all three disciplines - remembering a dressage test, completing the showjumping without an oxygen mask, and most of pretty scared at the thought of going XC which I have never, ever competed in before. Luckily I'll be riding a wonderful horse, Brook. He's a total legend and very experienced - I just hope he's not too bossy - or so fast that he scares the living daylights out of me!
Please help me to smash my £500 target Hannah's Willberry Wonder Pony (and leave me no chance but to go through with it!!).
Named after the small soft toy given to Hannah when she was diagnosed with cancer, Hannah’s Willberry Wonder Pony became an official charity on 29 March 2016 having already raised more than £100,000 for worthy causes.
Although Hannah is no longer with us in person, the equestrian world has pledged its allegiance to support this charity, which aims to fund raise in aid of bone cancer research to help seriously ill people, ultimately #kickingcancersbutt. Hannah also set up the charity Willberry’s Wishes, which makes the horsey dreams of young people suffering from serious illnesses come true.
