A promise that was made to Adele and a charity, that at the time, had no name, but so much meaning, is a promise kept! 💖

With time, this charity was named Adeles Princess Wish. A charity trust fund for Grace, a young girl bravely battling a brain tumour. Grace has battled courageously, and still continues to, making the most of every day with her life and her ponies. This fund will help Grace and her family with anything she requires, and in the future may help other children in similar circumstances. For now, she will always be Adele’s Princess.

For those of you that didn‘t know Adele, words do not suffice in explaining her or her journey. Following a terminal diagnosis post reoccurence of ovarian cancer, Adele bravely claimed “You’ve got two choices; give up or give it all you’ve got, and that’s what I’m doing“. Adele‘s achievements were endless. She sold out of tickets for her Dressage To Music Extravaganza faster than Glastonbury, took the champion sash at the Rodbaston Dressage Summer Championships, and took her beautiful gelding Rocky showjumping to raise money for her charity, just to name a few. Sadly, Adele lost her fight on 28th January 2020, just a day before her 50th birthday.

Unsure of what to do, I could only take inspiration from those around me. In memory of Adele, and to raise funds for her legacy trust, I will be walking the equivalent of a marathon (26.2 miles) along with my two amazing friends Jen and Steph, on 27th March in Aberystwyth. This will likely push me to my physical limit, rumbling the ‘badly behaved body’, but even if I ‘kick the final bar’ on crutches, it shall be done! The struggles that we face, will only be a small chip of what Adele faced with such bravery, determination and tenacity.

Adele’s zest for life and smile were infectious. Her beautiful personality and smile will be sorely missed by many.

Any donations will be warmly welcomed, and any support on the day will also be greeted with open arms!
