My story
Between now and 18 August I have to shed over a stone in weight, get down to 11 stone 6 and learn how to race a racehorse.
There will be regular updates here and at www.matthewhancock.co.uk
I'm taking part in the Newmarket Cavalry Charge - the first ever charity race at Newmarket's July Course, raising money for Racing Welfare and the Household Cavalry Operational Casualties Fund.
It's going to be a great day out so come to watch - and press the button to donate.
You can see more details about the race at:

I've done it! To race was a thrill, but to win was fantastic. A big thank you to everyone who has donated. You can see the race on YouTube here: http://youtu.be/-N5ni87Hpd0 And the BBC radio recording here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COiJF_7Zmrg&feature=youtu.be
It's RACE DAY. I'm just over 11 stone, and just a little nervous...
Now I've hit 11 stone 5 - under target, so I might get a bigger saddle. Excitement building as the race is only three days away
Now I'm down to just under 12 stone for the first time in years. Not far to go now
Rode out this morning, dodging the rain. That was fine but I'm finding it tough to avoid the sausages.
