1st October My Mission

As I said in my bio, I am currently a member of the Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffalos. Each year one of us is nominated to take charge of fundraising for a local charity...this year it's me and I'm really looking forward to the challenge!

I have chosen to support Hereford Riding for Disabled and my aim is to raise awareness of the charity and a minimum of £1000 in donations. I think this is massively achievable...especially with all your help!

To raise the money I will be taking to the skies to do a Tandem Skydive and will jump from 10,000 - 15,000 feet, falling at speeds of around 120mph...yikes. Then the parachute will be deployed, which will give my heart a chance to slow down a bit!

I will be doing this on 1st October 2022, but this could change depending on the weather.

About Hereford Riding for the Disabled (RDA)

Hereford Riding for the Disabled provide riding therapy sessions to people aged 5 - 85 years old with additional needs – ensuring they can enjoy horse riding and a physical activity.

RDA's sessions provide numerous benefits - not only do they improve riding skills but also help with the client's core strength, communication skills and gives pure enjoyment!

They have great equipment such as a hoist for clients with limited movement or for those that are wheelchair bound. Also, they have a mechanical horse called 'Steady Eddie' which can be used for clients wanting to work on their core strength/position, or to build confidence.
