Hello and thanks for visiting my fundraising page

The event is over and what a night it was - take a look!!!!

The Beverley Raptors lost the game against the White Rose Amateurs 5-7 which wasn't too bad to say that they had a person on their team who had played polo before and was a very experienced horse rider but no hard feelings eh!  However, I was awarded the most improved Pro/Am player of both teams so I did us all proud I think!!!!
 
For all those who have been asking - yes I did!! Spectacularly.  I have the bruises on my right cheek to prove it!! I did so well not falling off once during training but give me an audience .....and it's a whole different matter.
 
We have raised £620 so far on the 'Just Giving' site and I have £1500+ in a bank account just waiting to see if we get match funding which if we do will be just fantastic. Which means over £3500 if we are successful. So a big thank you.

 

Background
I have been selected for a Pro-Am Horse Polo event on the 19th June.  We are the 'warm up act' for an International Game at The Yorkshire Nations Cup, Beverley.

As I can barely ride a horse this is truly a challenge for me and one I thought  was worthy of a sponsorship request.

I have decided to use this event to raise funds for The Leeds Teaching Hospitals Charitable Foundation.    My sister Janette has suffered for over 20 years with a Liver complaint that was only diagnosed recently but basically means her own body attacks her Liver.  She was given 2 weeks to live. 3 years ago my sister Janette was given the gift of life with a Liver Transplant operation which was undertaken by the experts at St James Hospital Leeds.

By using 'Just Giving' it means the Charity gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, ensures sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, is added to your donation.

This is my way of saying thank you for the fantastic work St James Hospital carried out for Janette, a wonderful sister, a great wife and a nagging mum!!!.  Please help by sponsoring me to do this crazy Horse Polo event.  If I get £1 for every bruise I get I should raise millions!!!!!

There are some links below you may find of interest including some video of me on my 5th lesson!!

Thank you so much,

Love

Lynne
