My name is Jamie Insole and I am 16 years old and I am the nephew of the national hunt jockey William Kennedy. I took part in a charity race at Cheltenham and raised £3000 and enjoyed it so much I wanted to do it again, so I applied for the St Patrick's Day Charity Derby at the Cheltenham festival. However I was unsuccessful in gaining a place, but I was chosen as the reserve rider.

On 3rd March I had a phone call to say that Gordon Elliot had dropped out and that I was to take his place with only two weeks left to the big event. Mr Elliot has kindly provided me with a horse named Fool's Wildcat. I have now less than two weeks to make £2000 for Cancer Research UK and so I need as many donations as possible to help me reach this target in such a short period of time.

Your support is dearly needed if I am to reach £2000 to allow me to ride in the race.

Thank you
