My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I sufferred a riding accident in my late teens and have not ridden for over twenty years! It is now time to face my fears, and get back in the saddle !

Obvoiusly, I wanted a gentle re-introduction to horse riding and so decided to give myself a challenge that would motivate me, and, at the same time raise vital funds for the animals at the Blue Cross so...

... I am undertaking an extreme trek across the high Andes of Ecuador where we will be reaching altitudes in excess 3000m. In the saddle for up to 7 hours a day for 5 days should result in me either, conquering my fears, or, finding a more sedate form of fundraising.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Blue Cross gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
